Abstract | Lifelong education in Cuba is seen in a socioeconomic context. The characteristics of lifelong education in Cuba are implicit in its revolutionary setting, and the task of carrying it through has become an obligation and a right affecting every citizen. The training of teachers is at present the center of greatest effort. The Literacy Campaign, which mobilized every political or mass organization, abolished illiteracy within one year. Adult education is offered in elementary education, secondary course of worker education, worker-farmer faculty, language teaching, and youth movement. Classes are held in almost any location, and sessions are adapted to the industrial or agricultural area. The government is active in facilitating the incorporation of women into the political, economic, and social development through special literacy, technical and other educational programs. Youth movement schools were established to promote and organize the education of adolescent pupils above the age for elementary schools. Teacher training includes study and research on educational subjects, active participation in the educational workshop, and participation in People's Cultural Circles and in literary and scientific seminars. The circles and seminars are part of a governmental effort to make Cuban education an integrated and continuous process. (KM) |
