Fidel also exposed a significant consideration in relation to the role of educators.

He stressed: “We must realize the responsibility that educators have, the responsibility they have in our society, in our social system, in our Revolution, in our future, because it is the teachers and professors who work with children and with Young.

The success of our Revolution, the security of our future; the success of our socialism will depend largely on what educators are capable of doing.”
