A 1998 study by UNESCO reported that Cuban students showed a high level of educational achievement. Cuban third and fourth graders scored 350 points, 100 points above the regional average in tests of basic language and mathematics skills. The report indicated that the test achievement of the lower half of students in Cuba was significantly higher than the test achievement of the upper half of students in other Central and South American countries in the study group.[15][16]
The 1998 study by UNESCO was particularly impressive, because for the first time all of the countries in the study had agreed on the indicators and procedures in advance. Also, the study was taken during the height of an economic depression; Cuba’s economic development has been severely restricted by the U.S. trade embargo. Cuba is one of the poorest countries in the region and lacks basic resources yet still leads Latin America in primary education in terms of standardized testing.[17] The fact of a relatively poor economy and a long-term continuous blockade on trade makes the Cubans' achievements more impressive. For the past forty years, education has been a top priority for the Cuban government.[18] Cuba maintains twice the amount of public spending on education as its more wealthy neighbors, at 10% of GNP.[19] Cuba shows how important education is by keeping a student to teacher ratio of 12 to 1, which is approximately half of the Latin American average. In addition the youth illiteracy rate in Cuba is close to zero, a figure unmatched by all other Latin American countries.[20] Cuban schools are closely integrated with the community. Teachers are very active in the communities of the children that attend their schools, and build strong relationships with parents and families to enhance the learning process. It has been demonstrated that there is a strong commitment to the educational sector on the part of the government[citation needed]. Equal opportunity for a high quality education for all students is one of the key factors that explains that the Cuban educational success is not a miracle or an accident, but the result of many years of concerted efforts and commitments, by the government to its people.[19]

Do you honestly believe adult literacy is 100% in Cuba???

believe as you wish i would think the known corruption within their organization would make any and all studies they conducted questionable. Besides admitted inadequate accounting practices," effectiveness of projects was not assessed either" (according to an independent audit). At the end of the day, i don't know where they rank in healthcare and education (but i think it would be pretty high)...but i do know that i don;t believe in UNESCO.

It is true that Cuba does a better job providing Health Care and Education to its citizens THAN MOST IN THE REGION. That is without question accurate. |
