The joyful transit exhibited the happiness of faces protected from a pandemic, after the beginning of a school year 2023-2024, the first one with normality after the impact of Covid-19.
Great steps were visible in this traditional avalanche, where children, adolescents and young people, went for new challenges to cultivate themselves in the universe of letters and science with classroom mode.
Among the crowd of students, Bryan, Maria Carla and Sara Maria walked hurriedly, who excitedly began their first grade, with their backpacks where they carried new pencils and notebooks lined with the help of their parents.
The joy was tangible, because they knew of the reunion with their classroom friends, because they knew that behind the booklet of knowledge is the teacher to teach them to read, to write, to learn about the heroes of the Homeland, to learn about history and traditions.
The respect for our National Hero was also evident, as he carried in his strong man hands a flower for his oldest friend, for whom he gave to boys and girls “The Golden Age”, in order to provide them with knowledge, ethical, human and historical values.
The family was not left behind as an expression of the roots of the people, knowing that the current school period demands challenges and creativity, in the presence of a world economic crisis and a genocidal blockade; however, they committed themselves to support the inclusive pedagogical work.
In the face of shortages and difficulties, teachers and professors did not give up in professing a captive teaching of knowledge and principles, of norms and values, of virtues and positivity for a learning of equity and justice.
After the traditional reunion and the welcome to those infants attending school for the first time, hugs, kisses, laughter, anecdotes were matched with music, poetry and singing that makes unique the General Education System in Cuba, which Martí promised and Fidel fulfilled so that little ones like Bryan, María Carla and Sara María, returned this April 4 happy to their school.
