Question

What is Cuban education like?

Answer 1

It is one of the best educations there is. If you know Cubans, they are highly educated people if they take advantage of the education system and want to learn. Many Cubans, especially those who work in tourism know at least 3-4 languages FLUENTLY. Cubans are willing to learn and they are hardworking people...hard to find a lazy person.

There is no limit to what a person can learn and everyone is encouraged to take higher education as well. And the education is free for whatever level one is at.

You can tell how excellent the education system is by their medical field. Cuba has one of the best doctors in the world and are advanced in medical research. Cuba currently hosts 3432 medical students from 23 nations studying in Havana. However, foreign students do have to pay for their education.

Cuba has 47 universities and about 112,000 enrolled.

There is kindergarten all the way up to Upper Secondary. Then there is post-secondary that is either technical/vocational at non-university level...and there is University study levels.

There is teacher education and non-traditional studies (distance higher education).

I personally know someone who is currently studying to be a lawyer. She is working and studying at the same time. It's education provided and in any field. She is very successful in her studies as well. If you talk to those who are enrolled in higher education in Cuba, you will see how excellent the education system is and that it's not as poor as many people think it is.

Many consider our education system in Canada poor in elementary school as it's not what it used to be (although we still do have a fabulous school system). But each one has to make what they can of what is there. And there is no limit to education in Cuba. If you want it, it's available.

Cubans can do just about anything from teaching, to law, cosmetics and fashion design (very artistic), tourism, medicine, architecture, you name it.

Obviously it's a good system when people from the US, Canada, Europe and everywhere else want to go there to study.

Answer 2

Excellent, and without fees all the way up to PhD.

Answer 3

I lived in Cuba until I was 17 and then came to the United States. It is reported everywhere that the Cuban education system is one of the best in the world, as opposed to our government, etc. I went to a boarding school when i was 15 called "Instituto Preuniversitario Vocacional de Ciencias Exactas Vladimir Ilich Lenin" and it's the best high school in Cuba, I didn't graduate cause I came to the states, I left while i was in 10th grade, when I got here I got into 12th in High School and my Precalculus Class Honors was stuff I had learned in Cuba in 7th grade. I hope this answers your question.
