PRESIDENT Fidel Castro thanked the country for its participation in the far-reaching educational and cultural revolutions being developed in Cuba, in the midst of a world beset with difficulties for the survival of the human race.
At a special event marking the renovation of 254 Havana schools, the Cuban leader highlighted the significance of September, when the new school year begins, as a result of the changes to the Cuban educational system.
“Battle after battle, we will confront the dangers and overcome the obstacles. Thank you for all that has been achieved! Thank you for the far-reaching educational and cultural revolutions that are underway, not only for the benefit of our people, but for many others as well! Thank you for the example of tenacious, heroic and creative struggle that we can now offer the world!” declared Fidel.
Of the 779 Havana schools included in the general renovation program, only 123 remain to be completed.
The birthday of Hero of the Revolution René González, one of the five Cuban political prisoners currently being held in the United States, was likewise remembered at the event.
