Amanda Ortiz Portillo, a student of the Francisco Adolfo Crombet Tejeda High School, was elected as the new president of the High Shool Students Federation (FEEM) in the Guantanamo municipality of Yateras, in the most recent meeting of that organization.
Topics such as the use of social networks against the United States media campaign towards Cuba, and the concerns in the educational field, were discussed by those attending the meeting, which resulted in a bold and sincere exchange.
In this sense, the young participants presented problems such as the scarcity of study materials, the fight against fraud and the need for activities that integrate the school in the sports, cultural and scientific fields.
Yenifer del Toro as vice president, Rachel Galván in the Ideological field, and the student Yulie González, of the Horacio Matheu Agricultural Technical Institute, assumed the role of organizer.
FEEM is a student organization that brings together secondary education schools in Cuba, and ensures the students’ duties and rights at that level of education, represents them and manages their concerns and needs.
It emerged on December 6, 1970, as part of the process of strengthening mass organizations, in order to revitalize the student movement in secondary education.
