The new school year will take place at a particularly complex time due to the difficult economic situation ongoing in Cuba, the tightening of the economic, commercial, and financial blockade imposed by the United States, and the confrontation with the strategies of ideological subversion against the Revolution.

According to the Ministry of Education’s authorities, Cuba is not renouncing to provide a high-quality educational process and implement the changes foreseen in the 3rd Education Improvement Plan. In that context, this academic course must assess the priorities established to make it sustainable across the year, Education Minister Naima Trujillo said.

Trujillo also emphasized on the importance of education as a pillar for Cuba’s progress, the building of an integral humanistic general culture and a model of a person distinguished by knowledge and values, not by possessing goods.

This 2023-2024 educational course will also have the peculiarity that its calendar will include two calls for university admissions examinations.
