With each achievement reflecting the love and dedication of teachers, families, and the community. Special Education in Holguin stands out for its results in the current school year, which will conclude this June.
The magnitude of this work is reflected in the 3,504 students with disabilities served during the school year. Distributed between special schools and inclusive classrooms within the regular school setting. In addition, there are two hospital classrooms, three homes for children and adolescents without parental care. And 76 teachers dedicated to the outpatient care of students with physical disabilities.
Yudelkis Rivera Olivares, head of this educational level in the province. Specified that, thanks to the support of teachers, specialists, and families. Also 16 of these students successfully transitioned to primary education after overcoming widespread learning difficulties.
Along the same path, 39 teenagers will transition to vocational schools. To learn a trade that will provide them with independence and purpose. While 215 young people are graduating into employment, ready to integrate into inclusive work environments.
She also added that during this period, three students won the provincial competition “Where the Palm Grows.” Demonstrating that disability does not limit artistic expression.
Similarly, in the realm of sports, the Special Olympics International Movement held its Athlete Leaders Congress in Panama, and Cuba. It was represented by Vladimir Ernesto Rodríguez Arencibia. An athlete from Holguin who carried the voice of inclusion and the spirit of overcoming adversity to the international stage.
This same spirit drives the research work of the Holguin faculty. Who not only teach but also generate knowledge. During this period, several projects were developed. Some for the inclusion of children with intellectual disabilities and autism spectrum disorders. One for comprehensive home care, and two for environmental protection.
Furthermore, Rivera Olivares noted that students in Gibara and Urbano Noris participate in World Food Programme projects. While those in Moa benefit from the NutriVida project. In addition, partnerships were established with organizations and institutions. To promote intersectoral projects and socio-labor inclusion initiatives.
The strength of this system is also reflected in professional development. With teachers participating in educational research projects. Nine research projects were presented at municipal events on inclusive practices, early intervention, and the use of assistive technologies.
With these results, Special Education in Holguin reaffirms that inclusion is not a distant goal. A reality being built every day with firm steps, demonstrating that disability is not a barrier when there is preparation, support, and commitment.
