Every day there are more young cubans who do not want to continue studying, either because they do not have the necessary resources to do so, others because they prefer to work and some who make the decision to flee the country, given the lack of opportunities that exist on the island plagued by the Castro communism. .

According to a report presented by the Cuban regime, only in the 2022-2023 school period, 21,738 withdrawals from educational institutions were registered.

The main cause of abandonment is due to early pregnancy, according to the Cuban authorities, these being at the levels of technical and professional education, a percentage that reaches 19% in 2023, however, that is not the only cause. that drives young people to drop out of school.

Recently, the Castro doctor and State Security repressor, Ernesto Cordoví, stated in a publication on his Facebook account that since 2019 to date, nearly 99 thousand professionals have left the National Health System, of which 40 thousand are doctors, a figure that exceeds previous years, since by 2022, the state National Office of Statistics and Information (ONEI), registered 12 thousand fewer doctors.

The real reasons why young Cubans abandon their studies

On the other hand, the historian Dimas Castellanos, who is part of the Academic Freedom Observatory, argued that early pregnancy is not a cause, but a consequence of social deterioration and stated that the true reasons for dropping out of school are due to the totalitarian system that is incapable to guarantee the basic conditions for the development of education: the economy to support it and the freedoms for its development.

Faced with this situation, thousands of young Cubans decide to emigrate, as well as teachers, doctors and countless professionals, given the economic setback that the regime brought to its citizens.
