Synopsis
Cuba's education system underwent a radical shift after the 1959 Cuban Revolution. Schools closed for eight months as the government restructured the curriculum. During this time, history books were rewritten to align with Communist Party ideology. When schools reopened, students were taught Leninist principles and the concept of a socialist society. Fidel Castro's promise of education for all was intertwined with this new indoctrination, reflecting the country's alliance with the Soviet Union during the Cold War.
