The University of the Arts made it clear in a statement that, beyond the energy crisis affecting the country, what remains truly important for the institution is unwavering political loyalty, as it publicly reaffirmed its commitment to the Revolution.
In a post shared on its official Facebook profile, the ISA explained that the complex energy situation affects all sectors and announced adjustments to its teaching modalities in order to ensure the continuity of professional training.
According to the institution, the daytime course will transition to a hybrid model in the areas where the students reside, in coordination with the elementary and middle-level arts schools that most of the students come from.
The ISA also indicated that the course by meetings and the undergraduate program will be conducted remotely, as they are aimed at working professionals, while the artistic practices will take place in cultural institutions across different regions, which will serve as teaching units.
The university stated that the graduation exercises and the employment placements for fourth-year students will be tailored to the specifics of each program and profile, in coordination with institutions from the Ministry of Culture and the ISA branches in Santiago de Cuba, Holguín, and Camagüey.
In its statement, the University of the Arts emphasized that it is part of the artistic education system established by the Revolution and asserted that it has a faculty with over 50 years of experience, capable of ensuring the quality of training despite current limitations.
In relation to this, images recently sent to the editorial office of CiberCuba revealed a silent protest led by ISA students in Havana, following the indefinite suspension of in-person classes due to the deep energy crisis affecting Cuba.
The measure, adopted by the Ministry of Higher Education, has generated concern and frustration among young people who rely on practical education to complete their academic training.
