DURING our six-day National Education Union delegation to Cuba, my overwhelming impression was of the agency and meaningful involvement of students in their own education.
This was consistently evident, and obviously at the heart of Cuban pedagogy. Since the revolution in 1959, Cubans have fought for not only bread, but also roses.
Students in Cuba are a direct product of these roses; their ability to be an effective part of the conversations surrounding their learning is a demonstration of the empowerment the revolution has continued to bring the Cuban people.
Nowhere was this more evident than when visiting the final school of the trip, a secondary school in Pinar del Rio, so much so that I could not help but feel a little heartbroken for my own students in Britain.
