The Cuban Educational System
The educational model in Cuba is recognized for its universal quality, integrating the participation of the educational community. With 13 to 15% of its budget dedicated to education, the Cuban State strives to eradicate illiteracy and promote an inclusive, secular and scientific education.
Although access to education is free and compulsory up to high school, the recent economic crisis has brought challenges, including the exodus of teachers to other sectors. Despite this, many passionate professionals continue to work with determination. Recognition and support for teachers is crucial for the future of the country.
Importance of Education in Cuba
Education remains essential to the cultural and social development of the country. Teachers, although often underestimated, play a fundamental role. The rise of private lessons, offered by retired teachers, underlines the importance of education in Cuban society.
To celebrate the importance of education, let us congratulate all teachers on their national day on December 22.
