Evolution of education and development in Cuba

Abstract

The article analyzes, supported by an exhaustive and updated
bibliographic review, the evolution of education and development in
Cuba, detailing the training system and its public policies, pointing out
the main challenges for its economic progress. He recognizes Cuba's
scientific and educational potential, although he points out that it
needs to be rapidly transformed into greater economic and social
development, for which he bets on a recent update of its economic model. It shows that Cuba cannot focus its development on primary
products, betting on developing its human resources through the
accelerated development of science and education, which has been an
essential strategy for the social transformations achieved. It states that
parallel to the achievements in Cuban education and health, there are
negative aspects related to weaknesses in the Science, Technology and
Innovation System (SCTI), as a result of adverse economic conditions
and various internal inadequacies.
