The students, teachers and other workers of Cuban Education know their harmful effects, who do not have all the materials, books and equipment necessary to teach and learn.
In Guantanamo, as in the rest of the country, the influence of this siege is also perceived by the limited access to teaching media and computer tools used in the cretion of instructional multimedia.
To these difficulties are added other shortcomings but it is indisputable that special education in the province is the most affected by the restrictions that impede the importation into the country of materials and means, whose costs are increased due to the US blockade.
Equipment for the learning of the hearing impaired, the performance of visual exercises and Braille machines for writing, the latter of great importance in the teaching of the blind and visually impaired, also become expensive or do not reach the country.
These are just examples of the resources needed to achieve greater development of disabled children and adolescents who do not receive or use in a limited way, due to the restrictions of the US genocide policy.
Nevertheless, the Cuban State guarantees special education in the 22 schools of this type existing in the eastern province of the country through enormous efforts and possible alternatives thanks to the talent and dedication of the teaching staff.
Therefore, despite the consequences of the siege imposed by Wasghinton, the more than 2,500 children with special educational needs in Guantanamo benefit from a care that allows them to prepare for the future.
In this sense, natural objects and other resources are used as teaching aids, in addition to the use of audiovisual programs to teach knowledge, life habits, norms and values to disabled schoolchildren. These are examples of the right to free education in Cuban society that maintains equality as an inalterable principle.
For those and other damages that limit the development of Cubans, support for the resolution against the blockade in the General Assembly of the United Nations Organization of most of the countries that make up the international community has been forceful. This day is a new opportunity to demand the repeal of the US blockade against the economic and social progress of a people that overcomes with will and firmness.
