According to Cuba’s strategic plan,
exact sciences are essential not
only for technological
progress, but also to strengthen
education at all levels, and for
capacity
building among the new
generations of Cuban scientists.
For Cubans, the need to involve the
whole scientific community in order
to
strengthen education is clear,
especially in regard to mathematics
education,
which is achieved by all kinds of
means, even non-formal ones.
Cuban teacher education is tightly
controlled by the Ministry of
Education, which insists that
teachers know how to teach the
curriculum. When young teachers
begin teaching, experienced
colleagues and the principal mentor
them for several years. Students do
not change schools, and at the
elementary level, usually have the
same teacher for at least four
grades. References: https://www.huffingtonpost.com/martin-carnoy/are-cubas-schools-better_b_109280.html
