Growing despair over education in eastern Cuban province

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, June 3 (Víctor M. Domínguez, Lux InfoPress) - Parents' growing complaints over conditions at the schools their children must attend in Manzanillo, in eastern Granma province, is met with official exhortations to do more themselves since, they are told, "education is free and there's nothing more the government can do."

Parents' concerns include lack of books, notebooks, paper and pencils, scarcity of school furniture, overcrowding in dank classrooms, and labor instability for their children's teachers. To top it all, there was a recent outbreak of head lice at the "Enrique Vidal" agricultural polytech, in the outskirts of the city.
