The Cuban National Association of Deaf (ANSOC) in Havana city has among its current priorities to increase the education level of its members, in order to guarantee new and more profitable job options.
In Havana, that social organization gathers 2,707 disabled people, 30 percent of them are adults. ANSOC and the Ministry of Education, are jointly working to open a provincial faculty in September, so that sixth grade graduates can continue their studies.
The president of ANSOC in Havana City, David D¡az Baza¡l, said that nearly one hundred associates are waiting to register at the worker-farmer faculties, since only about 50 are currently studying due to the lack of sign language interpreters.
Two hundred students will graduate as technicians in that speciality within two years, thus contributing to give the same opportunities to the disabled.
