Cuba focuses on comprehensive education and academic excellence

Havana, Sep 10 (Prensa Latina) Despite the complex economic situation that the country is going through, Cuba is currently focused on the comprehensive training of students who are characterized by knowledge, culture, and decency.

Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel recently called on students to learn, show what they can give and contribute, and avoid, as much as possible, attitudes and behaviors that affect those potentialities.

Diaz-Canel called in his podcast From the Presidency published on Monday to “put collective performance above everything, to provoke and promote innovation and knowledge as a lever of the only resource that cannot block us, which is intelligence enriched by study and constant improvement.”

The head of State urged to resort to one of the fundamental weapons in the political arsenal of the historic leader Fidel Castro: “to educate the people, to foster a critical conscience, a critical thinking to guarantee an educated discernment of what is worth and what is not.”

As a society, we must recover lost habits of civility that cause discomfort in daily life. Nothing is more alien to the Revolution than bad education, he stressed.

About the 2024-2025 academic course, Diaz-Canel pointed out that this year is not only transcendental because it is imposed to enormous material shortages, “it is also a challenging course because of all what we are proposing in raising the quality of our education.”
