Díaz-Canel highlights the role of the
teacher in forming social values
Ángel Freddy Pérez Cabrera
SANTA CLARA.— Educators are called upon to play a
vital role in the restoration and formation of
values, which in the future will contribute to the
creation of the “educated and well-informed society
we dream of for our children,” stated Miguel
Díaz-Canel Bermúdez, first vice president of the
Councils of State and Ministers, after concluding a
tour of various centers of economic and social
interest in the provincial capital, Villa Clara.
We trust our educators, and the new generation of
teachers being incorporated into classrooms, who
employ their training and talent to overcome
enormous challenges, stated Díaz-Canel, while
speaking with teachers at the Octavio de la
Concepción y la Pedraja semi boarding school, and
Gerardo Abreu high school.
At both institutions, he inquired about the
implementation of changes in teaching policy, in
addition to training of personnel, and links with
families and the community, elements which he
described as crucial to achieving the objectives
proposed for the current academic year.
At the UEB Sarex, an entity affiliated with the Luis
Augusto Turcios Lima Textile Company, Díaz-Canel
conversed with workers and inquired about the
polypropylene sacks and cleaning utensils being
produced, insisting on the need to meet planned
targets, which are directly related to the imports
situation.
During a fruitful exchange with Ángel Javier Acosta,
the company director, Díaz-Canel emphasized as a
priority ensuring the credibility of accounts and
the development of an export perspective for the
factory, in order to support the country’s economy.
He also visited the non-agricultural cooperative
Aborigen, dedicated to popular food services, where
he spoke with administrator José Miguel Hernández
about the quality of offers, prices, earnings, and
workers’ salaries.
The Cuban Vice President, who was accompanied by
Jorgelina Pestana Mederos, president of the
provincial government, and Norma Velázquez, member
of the Party provincial bureau, also participated in
a productive exchange with journalists from the
provincial broadcasting company CMHW and other media
in attendance, who asked about the fulfillment of
the agreements established during the most recent
UPEC Congress, among other topics.
During the evening, Díaz-Canel met with neighbors
from constituency no.143, in the Vigía Sandino
People’s Council, where he stressed the role
neighborhoods play in resolving many of the problems
currently affecting the community. |
