Summary

A recent report highlights the severe challenges faced by blind and visually impaired students in Havana, Cuba, due to frequent power outages, lack of essential resources, and fuel shortages. Teachers at the Abel Santamaría Special School have resorted to using natural light during blackouts, and the school has reduced in-person attendance to four days a week. The lack of Braille paper, eyeglasses, magnifying glasses, and functioning Braille typewriters further exacerbates the situation. The crisis extends to other special education students across Cuba, with thousands affected by shortages in fuel, electricity, and transportation. The educational system is also facing a significant shortage of teachers, with nearly 24,000 teaching positions unfilled at the start of the 2026-2027 school year.
