The most anxious will look in the infusion of lime tree that grandmother, mom or dad will prepare the balance that they will need to face this important moment, the Mathematics entrance examination to gain access to the Higher Education, which will open the calendar followed by Spanish on the 30th and History of Cuba, on May 4th.

Just before the beginning of the tests, Adelante came up to the preuniversity student Salvador Cisneros Betancourt, of the municipality of Minas, an institution that since its creation has highlighted favorably in this academic exercise and where 78 of its slightly over 100 pupils of twelfth grade will have the test.

The aspiration of Ivonne Alcaraz Morales is to become a Bachelor of Tourism, which for her luck is already studied in the Camagüey University Ignacio Agramonte Loynaz. “The twelfth grade is stronger in the preparation, but I know that to reach goals in life it is necessary to sacrifice. The holidays in my case are on holiday until I wrap up.

“My mom is fulfilling mission in Venezuela and I am with my brother. In moments as these I need her more than ever, but I will try to do it well to dedicate her the success”.

Kerine López Aguilera always knew that to achieve the Degree in Tourism she had to study very much from the 10th grade and this way she did it. Nevertheless, she has a worry that she shares with many of her partners. “There is a thing that this year attempted against the preparation and the fact is that at national level it was decided to lengthen the school year until March and to shorten the preparation for the examinations”.

The sowers

Although the individual effort of the students and the contribution of the family are fundamental in this process, the professional competition of its educators is decisive.

Rolando Bollet Blanco is a teacher of History of Cuba for many years and now he assumes the responsibility of preparing the pupils of "Salvador Cisneros". “Here we take as a strategy study even on Saturdays, working days or not. We dedicate a day for Mathematics and other one for History and Spanish. Also the Sundays and in the schedules from 7:00 p.m. on for those who need it.

“We revise the contents of the textbooks, and they are provided with access to digital bibliography in the computing laboratory. In my subject, apart from the content, I insist very much on the approaches of the questions.

“Here since the preuniversity opened we have had good dividends, the target in this school year is to support them or to improve them”, he added.

“In the final calculations it influences that the selection of the students for the preuniversity is not very good and that it is thought that the person in charge of the revenue is the teacher of 12th grade and is not like that. The holes in the knowledge that come to our hands cannot be left to the universities.
