Cuba Improves Education with Multidisciplinary "Integral" Teachers

Havana, Jul 13 (acn) Cuba is expected to have nearly 1,827
multidisciplinary teachers for junior high school for the next academic 
year, an experience unknown so far in the world.

In the graduation ceremony of students from the capital's two Higher
Pedagogical Institutes, Education Minister Luis Ignacio Gomez said 
multidisciplinary teachers are part of the most recent transformations 
in education in the country.

Gomez highlighted that the graduates will take the learning process to 
higher levels, as part of the third stage of the educational revolution 
started in the last few years, reported PL.

"They are part of 23,464 new graduates on education who will begin 
teaching on the coming 2007-2008 school year throughout the island," he 
said.

This is the first graduation of multidisciplinary teachers, who during 
a four-year course were able to combine both study and practice.

Multidisciplinary professors are trained to teach core subjects using 
visual aids such as videotaped lessons.
