and social lives. The country's social media
have dedicated space to the dissemination of
educational programs on gender relations
aimed mainly at the family as a complement to
its educational function. The principle of
differentiated attention and school integration.
Cuban education works on the basis of
an in-depth diagnosis of children and their
families and their environment, and how it
interacts with them, by differentiating attention
from schoolchildren, according to their needs
and possibilities, taking into account the Aid
and stimulation that each requires, always

important center of the community, there is the
action of different educational agencies, which
seek to mitigate the social effects beyond the
end of education and promote the most
favorable educational conditions for the full
development of each individual, In their

From the revolutionary triumph, education was
one of the main purposes of the Cuban
government and the state, the crisis of the
1990s demanded new goals, among them the
effort to prevent the backwardness of the
achievements until that moment. New
alternative strategies were developed in this
area, which helped to maintain the indicators

center of all educational work; the education
given to Cuban children and adolescents is
aimed at preserving and improving their rights
of survival, development, protection and
participation. In order to comply with the
previous approach, strategies, programs and
laws that benefit this sector are needed. In this
case, it is important to make the following
references on the education of Cuban children
and adolescents.
Children are guaranteed by increasingly
educated teachers (ideologically, ethically and
culturally). The education of children
constitutes the sector (after social security) that
consumes most in the execution of the state
budget. In this sector, it has always been the
intention of a comprehensive education that
attends to diversity with equity in access and
opportunities, aspects that are evident with art
schools, sports schools, and vocational schools.
The benefit of Cuban education favors the 14
provinces of the country and the special
municipality, particularly rural and mountain
schools, contributes significantly to the seal of
equity in the situation of the education of
Cuban children.
The implementation of national
programs has had the participation and
integration of all agencies and organizations.

schools for health, prevention of accidents,
education for a healthy and happy sexuality,
etc.
