In Santiago de Cuba, the food situation in educational institutions has become critical, generating palpable discontent among students.
A report from the independent media CubaNet indicates that, at the Floro Regino Pérez Díaz Teacher Training School, the students began a couple of days ago without breakfast, as the authorities reported that there was no food available.
Lunch was equally disappointing; One student, who preferred to remain anonymous, reported that they were only offered hard peas, spoiled picadillo, and fongo, instead of rice.
Although rice and meat were served in the afternoon, the 17-year-old expressed her displeasure at the shortage, describing the ration as insufficient. “They are starving us,” he lamented, highlighting the difficulty of concentrating in class without having eaten properly.
The situation is repeated in other institutions, such as in Faculty No.2 of Medicine, where Rachel, a student, criticized the return to classes without improvements in nutrition.
He reported that, to avoid going hungry, students must resort to buying expensive pizzas and preparing food in their dormitories, even though this is prohibited.

Unfortunately, situations like these occur not only in Santiago de Cuba, but also in every corner of the island. The lack of food not only affects the physical capacity of students, but also seriously influences their ability to concentrate.
Meanwhile, the leadership of the regime continues to indulge in all possible luxuries and, even worse, display them on social networks.
