Cuba is reopening most of its schools as the country continues to face shortages of essential services and resources. Reports say schools resume operations despite persistent problems affecting daily life, including limited fuel, unreliable water supply, and disrupted electricity.
Outlets also describe practical obstacles that limit the reopening’s smoothness. The reporting notes transportation constraints, along with shortages of uniforms and teaching staff in some areas. While schools are restarting, the lack of supplies and staffing conditions is cited as a factor that may affect attendance and full continuity of classes.
The coverage emphasizes that the reopening is happening against a backdrop of worsening economic and infrastructure pressures. Both accounts frame the school restart as a response to the need to keep education running, while acknowledging that ongoing shortages continue to disrupt logistics and classroom readiness.
