\u2193Overview of the textbooks<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The DVD is a compilation of digitized secondary school textbooks that had been published from May 2013 to October 2015 under the Kim Jong-un regime.  A North Korean defector in South Korea smuggled them from North Korea in June 2016 and ASIAPRESS obtained the digitized version of the textbooks.  The DVD includes 65 textbooks mainly focusing on the humanities, history, and the North Korean socialist ideology.  As appendixes we added some primary school textbooks, a report from the \u201cEnglish Textbook Compilation Committee,\u201d an outline of the English and Science education course, and some of the textbooks that ASIAPRESS has obtained previously. (Go to the list of textbooks)<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Since we obtained textbooks that were actually used in North Korea and subsequently sold in a market, some pages have stains, doodles, damages.  There are, due to manufacturing defect, a few repeated pages and through human damage, a few missing or damaged pages. (Find out more information about missing or repeated pages)<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
