북한은 2016년 7차 로동당대회를 개최하였다. 7차 로동당대회에서는 ‘국가경제발 전 5개년 전략’이 발표되었고, ‘사회주의 강성국가 건설’이라는 국가적 목표 달 성을 위해 교육분야의 목표로 교육사업의 질 개선을 통한 ‘인재강국’ 실현과 ‘전 민과학기술인재화’ 실현이 제시되었는데, 이는 김정은 정부의 핵-경제 병진노선의 교육적 반영으로 볼 수 있다. 7차 당대회에서 초·중등교육 분야에 관해 12년제 의무교육제 도입, 교육과정의 전면 개편, 교육환경의 개선 등이 언급되었고, 고등교육 분야에 대해서는 원격교육체 계 확립과 대학의 확대가 강조되었다. 그리고, 평생교육분야에 관해서는 과학기술전 당의 건설, 미래원과 과학기술보급실의 전국적 설치가 언급되었다. 교육부문의 목표 달성은 북한 경제가 얼마나 호전될 것인지 하는 문제의 영향을 받을 것이기도 하지만, 또한 반대로 그것에 영향을 줄 문제이기도 하기 때문에 북한 정부나 조선로동당으로서는 이 문제에 대해 앞으로 꾸준히 국가적 역량을 기울일 것으로 전망된다.
