This two-part report, conducted by Daily NK and Unification Academy (UA) in partnership with NKnet, shows the systematic barriers and current discriminatory practices that exist in North Korea that limit access to education for all citizens. In addition, both reports reveal the intertwined nature of human rights issues that are embedded within the education system such as discrimination against children and women, forced labor, and songbun and social classification system 53. The report includes recommendations for North Korean authorities and proposes the role that international actors can play in addressing unequal access to education and guaranteeing education rights in North Korea.
