| Abstract | This paper discusses accomplishments and problems in recent Cuban attempts to move secondary education into rural areas. Some of the theoretical implications of the Cuban educational reform model for other Latin American societies are examined. Prerevolutionary Cuban education was crucially deficient in its orientation to professional training and a near total rejection of practical, work-oriented skills required for national development. On taking power, Castro began a massive educational reform movement by instructing schools to mold the socialist "new man" dedicated to self-sacrifice and to the struggle against injustice and exploitation. The highest priority was placed on rural education and creating educational programs for urban youth which combined theoretical learning and actual work experience in agricultural work-study programs. Six years of primary schooling has been made available to almost all rural children. Two major problems in the new educational system are (1) that over half of the children in primary schools are grade repeaters and (2) that the majority of students, even though education is available to them, continue to drop out at an early age to work or to loaf.
