Amid the deep crisis currently affecting the Cuban education system, a teacher has begun to attract attention on social media for his approach to discussing values, environmental awareness, and humanistic education within schools.
This is about Luis Alberto Ramírez, known on social media as @luisalbertoramirez262, director of the pre-university Tomás David Royo, in Havana.
His profile is relatively new, but his posts have sparked conversation among students, teachers, and internet users.
In his videos, Ramírez shares messages about the importance of recycling, resource conservation, and the ethical education of young people. “In our school, we not only educate students; we foster awareness to protect the future,” he states in one of his most discussed posts.
Among the topics frequently addressed are school initiatives to promote recycling, responsible energy use, and values education, in an effort to motivate students to engage in caring for their environment and their own personal growth.
However, his presence on social media has also generated controversy. Some users praise the educator's effort to convey positive messages in a challenging context, while others criticize the fact that these speeches contrast with the harsh reality of education in Cuba.
The educational system is currently facing serious structural issues: deteriorating schools, a lack of study materials, frequent blackouts, and no science laboratories in the educational centers. In addition, there is a shortage of teachers and an exodus of professionals from the sector.
In that context, many educators must reinvent themselves to capture the attention of students and maintain their interest in learning.
The case of Luis Ramírez opens up a debate that is recurring on social media: to what extent can these messages compensate for the lack of resources in classrooms?
As the discussion continues, their videos keep circulating and generating both support and criticism. Their online community is small, but growing quickly. This reflects the interest and concern about the future of education in Cuba.
