Among the measures taken is to guarantee the school materials, which will include, as of this year, specific designs for each education level to make the process more attractive. Ernesto Fernandez, Vice Dean of the Higher Institute of Industrial Design (ISDi), stated that the school materials’ simplicity, didacticism, and inclusiveness will allow students to have a better approach to those contents.
Fernandez pointed out that the textbooks have not been redesigned since the 1980s, so now they will have images corresponding to the current technological development reality in the world and Cuba.
The country seeks alternatives for the deficit of teachers in provinces such as Havana, where 1,213 educational centers with more than 200,000 students will reopen this September.
Education Minister Naima Trujillo affirmed on Wednesday that Cuba would experience a great socio-cultural celebration on September 2, ensuring that the necessary methodological, technical, and logistical guarantees are in place.
The Education Ministry has decided to dedicate this course to the 130th anniversary of the death in combat of National Hero Jose Marti and the 65th anniversary of the process of transforming garrisons into schools, led by the historic leader of the Cuban Revolution, Fidel Castro.
