Cuban Educational System

This class Katherine, Pedro and Fabian presented their topic and debate about Cuban Education.

Some important facts:

• Cuba maintains the highest rate of literacy in Latin America.


• If they graduate from the preparatory college school, they can attend college for free if they choose.


• The record of Cuban education is outstanding: universal school enrollment and attendance; nearly universal adult literacy.

And they have:

• Great attention to teachers (extensive pre- and in-service training, high status and morale, incentives, transparent system of accountability, strategies for developing a culture of professionalism, rewards for innovation)


• Low-cost instructional materials of high quality

After these valuable information our classmates separated us in two groups to start the debate.

the debate was really entertainment because all of us had something to say, so we share opinions and as a conclusion we think that we are not prepared for use this method in our country, because the government prefer to invest the money in other matters, and I think do not take serious the education in our country.
