Cuba health and education hollowed out as staff join emigration exodus
06 Dec 2023
|
the Guardian

English
| Education
Cuba is experiencing a significant brain drain in its health and education sectors as professionals emigrate due to economic hardships exacerbated by US sanctions and a struggling economy. State wages have plummeted, leading to a mass exodus of teachers and healthcare workers. The private sector is absorbing much of the remaining talent, further straining public services. The US has implemented a humanitarian parole program to manage the influx of Cuban migrants, who benefit from unique entitlements once in the US. The situation underscores the severe impact of economic policies and sanctions on Cuba's public sector.

| Cuban Politics
Seven Cuban soccer players and an assistant coach defected during an Olympic qualifying tournament in Tampa, Florida, seeking better opportunities and political asylum in the United States. The defections, seen as a significant rebuke to the Cuban government, left the Cuban team with only 11 players, leading to a loss against Honduras. The players, now in various locations in Florida, are navigating legal and professional uncertainties, with Miami F.C. initially expressing interest but later retracting due to the political situation. The Cuban media condemned the defectors, while the players expressed hope for a future in professional soccer.

Cubans are divided over more rights for women and the LGBT community

| Legislation
The Cuban government has proposed a new Family Code that includes legalization of same-sex marriage, adoption by same-sex couples, equal division of domestic tasks, prenuptial agreements, and medically assisted reproduction. Despite these progressive measures, public support is lukewarm, with only 54% in favor according to meetings held across the island. The code revises laws dating back to Fidel Castro's era, who admitted responsibility for past persecution of gays. The Catholic Church opposes the proposal, citing gender ideology threats. Mariela Castro is optimistic about the reforms, while expert Bert Hoffman notes the uncertainty of the referendum outcome, a first in Cuba's history.
