Cuban Education Minister Ena Elsa Velasquez lauded the results of the recently finished academic year, which she said proved the quality of education in the island.
Making an analysis of 2007-2008's academic year, the minister specified that most of the territories stand out for the political-ideological work of the students and the teacher training.
She highlighted that about 105,000 teachers are enrolled in an Education Science Master's degree program, from which over 2,000 have already graduated.
In that sense she commented that new spaces are being devoted to increase teachers' education, aimed at improving their teaching skills and control of the contents.
Velazquez recalled that the increasing efficiency of Cuban schools was recently recognized in the the second regional Comparative and explanatory Research of Education quality made by UNESCO. Cuba scored best in the region on that international measure of educational quality.
