Cuba resumes school year for all education levels
Velázquez stated that teacher coverage is 97 percent guaranteed with more than 253,000 teachers, while the remaining three percent will be assumed by contracted teachers, members of the boards of directors, and university students of the “Educando por amor” (Teaching for Love) project.
The education minister explained that the necessary measures are being taken in each province, so that the teaching and education process suffers the least possible impact from the power cuts the country is experiencing.
Meanwhile, Saborido highlighted two relevant moments of this stage: the entrance examination to university in November, and the culmination of studies in December.
Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel affirmed that this course will continue “against all odds,” and showed confidence in the quality of the preparation to resume classes, conclude the current school year and prepare for the next academic term.
