AS I reflect on my recent visit to Cuba as part of the National Education Union’s delegation of teachers, I am struck by the overwhelming sense of community that we witnessed throughout the time we were there.
Our delegation lasted just six days, but in that short space of time were able to visit a number of schools and organisations and learnt so much from everyone we met. The experience was very humbling and one I’ll never forget.
The heart of any community is the people and the families within it; in Cuba all are in agreement that education is not just a basic right, but it is a way to be part of and contribute to a meaningful society. It is about sharing what you have with others and making a better life for everyone.
