Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The restrictions on commercial and financial channels make it difficult or expensive for Cuba to acquire necessary resources for its education system. For example, between March 2025 and February 2026, the Ministry of Education reported losses of US$73,799,500 due to these constraints.

The situation involves sanctions and blockades that threaten regime change in Cuba, while the city of Havana is currently experiencing power outages and shortages.
