Kim Jong-un learned to drive when he was just three years old and won a yacht race at the tender age of nine. At least that's according to a new school textbook that takes the meaning of the phrase 're-writing history' to a whole new level. The bizarre claims are being taught to pupils across North Korea as a way of indoctrinating future generations into glorifying their dictator in much the same way that his father, the late Kim Jong Il, and his grandfather, Kim Il Sung, were blindly heralded in days gone by. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the manual contains now mention of the country's history, instead devoting its chapters to minor – and questionable – details about Kim Jong-un's childhood. Like a duck to water... apparently: A new North Korean school textbook claims that dictator Kim Jong-un (pictured, above, on a boat with military chiefs) learned to drive aged three and won a yacht race aged nine . The book, called Kim Jong Un's Revolutionary Activities, has been distributed to middle and high schools for study during the 2015 school year, it was reported by the UPI news agency. Subjects include Kim's incredible ability to drive a year as a toddler and his remarkable sailing prowess before he'd even reached double figures. 'At the age of ine, Kim Jong-un raced the chief executive of a foreign yacht company, who was visiting North Korea,' the text reads, adding that Kim won the race despite the odds. South Korea's TV Chosun reported that the text also claimed Kim can draw well and knows how to compose music. Lee Seok-young, the South Korean director of Radio Free Chosun, said it remains to be seen just how teachers would credibly impart this wisdom to the schools. Cementing a false image: The bizarre claims are being taught to pupils across North Korea as a way of indoctrinating future generations into glorifying their dictator in much the same way that his father, the late Kim Jong Il (left), and his grandfather, Kim Il Sung, were blindly heralded in days gone by . The hermit state fights a constant PR war in its bid to portray a fanciful image of wealth and prosperity to its persecuted people. One example came recently when it became embroiled in an escalating international row over Kim's lurid depiction in Hollywood film The Interview. The United States claims that the film's presentation of Kim – whose family has ruled the reclusive, impoverished state for more than six decades – prompted Pyongyang to launch a massive cyber-attack on Sony Pictures, the studio that made it. Meanwhile, images emerged today of Kim Jong-un apparently showing that he has hurt his wrist. The 32-year-old was inspecting a weapons factory in the country's capital of Pyongyang in a visit filmed by North Korean Central TV. The footage shows the mysterious dictator waving and smiling to the crowds, with his right-hand wrist wrapped up in a white bandage. Pictures from state-controlled media show the dictator smiling and waving, with his right wrist in bandages .
