North Korea's basic education is compulsory, and primary school begins at the age of 6. After ten years of compulsory education, students can choose to continue their studies in high schools or vocational schools. In the compulsory education stage, students can receive free education, including textbooks, clothes and food. Higher education is also free, but you need to pass the exam to enter the university.

Medical aspects:

North Korea's medical system is a socialist public health system. Basic medical services are free, but medicines and advanced medical services need to be paid. Due to the relatively backward medical facilities and equipment in North Korea, the quality of medical services is relatively low.

Housing:

North Korea's housing is divided into public houses and private houses. Public housing is allocated by the government and is generally rented free or at a low price. Private houses need to be purchased or leased, and the price is relatively high. However, due to the shortage of housing in North Korea, many people cannot own their own houses and need to live in dormitories or share with other families.
