Cuban universities connected with the Cuban Ministry of Higher Education (MES) will begin the 2012-2013 school year with an enrollment of 155,000 students, almost half of the entire university student body in the country.
They are now ready to begin the upcoming school year, Rodolfo Alarcon, deputy minister of this sector, stated in this capital.
In remarks to the press, Alarcon said the country has the indispensable human and material resources to conduct comprehensive quality student training, not only at the main higher education centers but also at municipal universities.
According to MES executives, despite technical limitations and the deteriorated state of many facilities, the emphasis for this course will be to increase efficiency of academic results, mainly in terms of promotion.
Alarcon also announced the granting of 6,700 registrations over the previous year, and the fulfillment of the registration plan for regular daytime courses at the highest percentage in history.
