Preparations for Pedagogy 2015 are underway,
reported Aida Terrero Lafita PhD, international
relations director for the Ministry of Education
(Mined), during a press conference.
The
event is the largest organized by the ministry and
local school professionals are directly involved in
the planning. To date, numerous international
participants have confirmed their attendance, and
outstanding examples of Cuba’s educational
experience are being selected for inclusion in the
program.
Terrero Lafita also discussed the work of Cuban
collaborators around the world, which at this time
number more than 2,000 in a dozen countries.
Cuba’s well-known Yo, sí puedo adult literacy
program is not the only educational effort being
undertaken abroad, the ministry official reported,
highlighting the importance of consultation being
provided on post-graduate, early childhood, and
technical-vocational programs, especially in African
nations.
“The
best of Cuba’s educational professionals are
involved in this work,” Terrero reported, adding
that the ministry is now taking on the export of
educational services, given the prestige the country
has gained in this sphere internationally. She
emphasized that Mined is committed to ensuring that
the sending of professionals abroad does not
compromise educational services within the country.
