In this regard, Gusmeli González highlighted the materialization of innovative educational projects in the center that ponder the actions of the State and the continuity of the Cuban Revolution in spite of world adversities, the validity of Fidel Castro’s decolonizing thought, the updating of the Antillean economic model and the new tax modifications.

Likewise, Rubén León Aguilar, deputy director of Professional Training and Production of the school, referred among them, the current literary creation in the Island, the potential of the study of Physics and the use of medicinal plants, the posture houses as fundamental links for planting and preventive work in terms of addictions and drug use, as well as the need to develop a healthy nutrition in the population.

These activities are supported by visits to related organizations and institutions and other cultural, sports and recreational activities, agricultural work, hygiene and environmental sanitation, complementary courses, projections of audiovisual materials for reflection and debate, as well as teachers’ fairs and skills festivals, among other services that allow for the integral formation of the students.
