The Charter of National Education

 

     We have been born into this land, charged with

 the historic mission of regenerating the nation.

     This is the time for us to establish a self-reliant

 posture within, and contribute to the common properity

 of mankind outside our borders, by revitalizing

 the  illustrious spirit of our forefathers.

     We do hereby state the proper course to follow

 and set it up as the aim of our education.

 

     With sincere minds and strong bodies, improving

 ourselves in learning and the art, developing our

 innate faculties and overcoming the existing obstales

 to the rapid progress of the nation, we will

 cultivate a creative power and pioneer spirit.

 

     We will give the formost consideration to public

 good and order, and set a value on efficiency and

 quality, and having  inherited a tradition of mutual

 assistance rooted in love and respect and faithfulness,

 we will promote the spirit of fair and warm cooperation.

 

     Realizing that the nation develops through creative

 and cooperative activities and that national prosperity

 is the ground for individual growth, we will

 do our best to fulfill the responsibilities and obligations

 attendant upon our freedom and rights, and encourage

 the willingness of the people  to participate and serve

 in the building of the nation.

 

   The love of country and fellow countrymen together

 with  the firm belief in democracy as opposed

 to communism is the way for  our survival and the basis

 for realizing  the ideals of free world.

   Looking forward to the future when we shall have

 our honored  fatherland unified  for the everlasting

 good of posterity, we, an industrious people, with

 confidence and pride pledge ourselves to make new

 history with untiring efforts and the collective wisdom

 of the whole nation.
