The World Bank has just published a revealing report on the problems of education in Latin America and the Caribbean. Titled excellent teachers. How to improve learning in Latin America and the Caribbean, the study examines the public education systems of the countries of the continent and the main challenges they face. 1
In Latin America, teachers of basic education (preschool, primary and secondary) is a human capital of 7 million people, or 4% of the active population of the region, and more than 20% of professional and technical workers. Their salaries absorb 4% of the continent's GDP and their working conditions vary from one region to another, even within national borders. Teachers underpaid, are mostly women - an average of 75% - and belong to modest social classes. In addition, the faculty over 40 years of age and who is considered "aged". 2
The World Bank notes that all governments on the planet scrutinize carefully "the quality and performance of teachers" at the time that the objectives of education systems adapt to new realities. Now, the focus is on acquiring skills and not just in the simple accumulation of knowledge.

The report's findings are relentless. The World Bank emphasizes "low average quality of teachers in Latin America and the Caribbean", which is the main obstacle to the advancement of education in the continent. Academic content are inadequate and inefficient practices. Little and poorly trained, teachers spend only 65% of classroom time to instruction, "which is equivalent to losing a full day of instruction per week." On the other hand, the courseware available remains underutilized, particularly the new technologies of information and communication. In addition, teachers can not impose his authority, maintain students' attention and encourage participation. 3
According to the international financial institution, "no faculty of the region can be considered high quality in comparison to global standards", with the notable exception of Cuba. The World Bank points out that "at present, no Latin American school system, with the possible exception of Cuba, is close to show high standards, strong academic talent, the high pay or, at least, adequate and high professional autonomy which characterizes the most effective educational systems in the world, such as Finland, Singapore, Shanghai (China), the Republic of Korea, the Netherlands and Canada. "4
In fact, only Cuba, where education has been a top priority since 1959, offers an efficient education system and teachers are top notch. The Antillean country has nothing to envy of most developed nations. The Caribbean island is, moreover, a nation in the world that devotes the highest share of the national budget (13%) for education. 5
It is not the first time that the World Bank praises the educational system of Cuba. In a previous report, the organization reminded the excellence of the social system on the island:
"Cuba is internationally recognized for its achievements in the fields of education and health, with a social service that surpasses that of most developing countries and in some sectors compares to those of developed countries. Since the Cuban Revolution in 1959 and the subsequent establishment of a communist government with one party, the country created a system of social services that ensures universal access to education and healthcare, provided by the state. This model allowed Cuba to achieve universal literacy, eradicate certain diseases, [provide] general access to drinking water and public health base, [achieve] the lowest rates of infant mortality in the region and one of the highest life expectancies. A review of social indicators Cuba reveals an almost continuous improvement from 1960 to 1980 Several key indicators such as life expectancy and infant mortality rate continued to improve during the economic crisis of the country in 90 years [...]. Currently, the social services in Cuba are part of the best in the developing world, as documented numerous international sources, including the World Health Organization, the United Nations Program for Development, as well as other UN agencies and the World Bank [... ]. Cuba far outweighs Latin America, the Caribbean and other middle-income countries in key indicators: education, health and public health. "6

The World Bank notes that the development of good educational systems is vital to the future of Latin America and the Caribbean. Also reinforces the example of Cuba, which has achieved excellence in this sector and is the only country on the continent that has a faculty of high quality. These results are explained by the political will of the government of the Caribbean country to put youth at the center of society project, dedicating the necessary resources to acquire knowledge and skills. Despite limited resources of a Third World nation and the state of economic siege imposed by the United States for more than half a century, Cuba, based on the adage of José Martí, a national hero and his apostle, "cult is to be free" demonstrates that a quality education is available to all nations.
