The Analysis on the Length and Content Changes on Secondary Mathematics Textbooks in North Korea

Abstract

North Korea is one of the most closed nations in the world. It is difficult to access information about their education system. North Korea’s economic system was reorganized on July 1, 2002, as well as the education system. This change has impacted North Korea’s mathematics education. With limited information on North Korean mathematics textbooks, this study examines the North Korean education system and compares the content and length of mathematics textbooks of the mid-1990s and 2002s.
