A user reported an alleged case of media manipulation during the reopening of the Urban Basic Secondary School (ESBU) "Pedrín Troya" in the municipality of San Nicolás, Mayabeque province.
Yordan Roque Álvarez reported on Facebook that the repair of the school was just a facade to pretend improvements. Local authorities ordered the front of the center to be painted and reconstructed a classroom to take photos and share them on social media.
On the first day of the school year, they prepared a special morning event and even cut a ribbon to re-inaugurate the school, but behind the facade, the story was not so pretty.
The complainant assures that the rest of the school is in the same state of deterioration as it was at the end of last school year. The ceiling beams are rusted and exposed; there are leaks, and the windows are broken.
The report on social media coincides with other similar situations reported in various provinces of the country.
On the first day of the school year, a Cuban mother denounced the deplorable conditions of the school where her son would study, highlighting the poor state of the tables and the ceiling.
More recently, a student from Santiago de Cuba was threatened for showing on social media the damaged blackboard of her school, a case that has generated significant concern in the school community.
These events have exposed the deficiencies in Cuban educational infrastructure, which the authorities attempt to disguise with apparent superficial improvements.
