Pro-Pyongyang Korean schools unlikely to be tuition-free: Hatoyama

TOKYO, Japan - Principals of pro-Pyongyang senior high schools for Korean residents and parents whose children go to such schools attend a press conference at the Diet building on Feb. 25, 2010 as they protest the government's move not to grant a proposed tuition fee exemption program for senior high schools in Japan. Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama suggested the same day that such pro-Pyongyang schools are unlikely to be covered by the program due to difficulties checking their curriculum against Japanese guidelines.
