Students in Santiago de Cuba forced to sit on the floor due to a lack of chairs and tables.

Although the Cuban regime announced that the conditions were in place for the start of the 2024-2025 school year, reality is far from the official propaganda.

In the schools of Santiago de Cuba, students are forced to sit on the floor of classrooms or in the hallways due to a lack of chairs and tables, a situation that, as journalist Yosmany Mayeta reported on Facebook, exposes the lies of the Cuban government.

The communicator shared some images taken at the Eugenio Noques Vera School, showing students in inadequate conditions, highlighting the inability of educational centers to accommodate all students properly.

Some internet users assured the journalist that "there is no capacity to accommodate students in the school," a problem that is affecting young people without any sign of a solution from government officials or the education sector.

The deterioration of the facilities and the lack of adequate furniture further worsen the situation, leaving parents worried about the conditions in which the students receive their education.

Mayeta called on parents and the community in general not to allow this unfortunate situation to continue, as the students are the main ones affected by the inaction of the authorities.

In the comments section, Ana Idelys reported that her son, who is in the eighth grade at the Abel Santamaría secondary school in micro 1A, spends entire mornings sitting in the parks due to a lack of classrooms.

"It is a disrespect what is being done to the students, the poor meals, the sour and warm yogurt, and don't even get me started on the bread. Some parents have complained to the school administration, but the principal told us that it is the municipality and the province that do not want to provide a solution," she noted.

The situation is not new in the schools of Santiago de Cuba. Last Monday, Mayeta echoed on social media the discomfort and anguish of the parents whose children, upon attending school, encountered a chaotic situation.

"We received this complaint at our page from the Francisco Maceo Osorio Basic Secondary School, located in the town of Altamira, where students have to sit on the floor due to the lack of tables and chairs," she noted.

"There are no conditions to place the students, and some teachers at the center do not agree to work this way," a mother told the communicator.

Last August, before the start of the school year, a Cuban mother exploded on her social media about the poor conditions of the classroom where her son would be teaching.

Lianet Oyasita, a resident of Havana, shared a video on her Facebook wall recorded in a fourth-grade classroom, and clarified that the others are the same.

Something similar provoked the outrage of a Cuban mother, who reported that the primary school her son attends in Havana is surrounded by sewage and has a gigantic dump on the corner.

The children of the José Manuel Lazo Special School in Vega Quintana, Marianao, attend classes in an unhealthy environment. They have to use a dangerous sewer cover as a step to access the educational center. The stench reaches the classrooms.
