Camagüey, Cuba, Aug 31 (Prensa Latina) Teacher coverage is one of the main challenges today as the school year is about to begin in this Cuban province.

Several reasons have promoted the emigration of teachers from the sector, according to Provincial Education directors, and for this reason, the Ministry’s top officials are trying to find alternatives.

At this time, the territory has the means to have almost 90 percent of the teachers’ capacity completed, according to the report presented in the last few days at a press conference.

Camagüey, which has more than 110,000 students in 719 schools, will also have 487 graduates from pedagogical centers this school year, which starts on September 4.

Recently, the presence of the Minister of Education, Naima Aritne Trujillo, in the largest territory of the country, made it possible to verify the conditions for the start of the next school term.

We know about the difficulties that exist today in our country, so the program of attention and stimulation of the teaching staff must go from the material to their own training as professionals’, said the education minister.

After the Covid-19 scourge, Cuba returns to classes in the traditional ninth month of the year, a period of 46 weeks in a year marked by economic difficulties which, however, has not prevented the country from protecting the development of one of the great conquests of the Revolution.
