Domestic Policies: Social Policies

Tip

Questions about social policies will demand you work with education, health, youth and gender policies and policies regarding religious groups and minorities.
Please bear in mind that you don’t need to cover all these aspects!
Make sure you know at least three of them back to back.
Gender and minorities can appear as stand alone questions.

Education

The 1961 Literacy Campaign
1. Before 1959, rural Cuba had widespread illiteracy and poor access to education.
2. In 1961, Castro declared the “Year of Education” and launched a mass literacy campaign.
3. 271,000 brigadistas (teachers and volunteers) taught reading and writing, mainly in rural areas.
4. Military barracks were converted into schools; more schools were built between 1959–1962 than in the previous 58 years.
5. Illiteracy dropped from 24% to 4% by 1962.
6. The campaign both educated the poor and politicized youth, tying education to revolutionary values.
Education as Ideological Training
1. After 1961, all private schools nationalized; education reshaped to produce loyal revolutionaries.
2. Curricula focused on revolutionary heroes; libraries purged of counter-revolutionary texts.
3. Teachers trained in the USSR/Eastern Europe; dissenting educators dismissed.
