Cuba is currently preparing the special call for the entrance exams to Higher Education for the 2022 academic year, slated for Jan.9, 11, and 13.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This time, those students who could not take the ordinary exams for justified reasons will be able to take Math, Spanish and History tests, Granma daily reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Taking these exams leads to entry into Cuban universities in most majors, since the results depend to a great extent on the granting of the existing vacancies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This process begins with students who got the best grades and in a first round includes applicants who got a minimum of 60 points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Subsequently, opportunities are offered to failed students, those who did not apply, and to graduates from technical-vocational courses and the Facultad Obrero Campesina (Faculty for Workers and Farmers).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For this year, a little more than 103,000 places are available in different types of courses, with about 53,200 of them in regular daytime courses, most of them in university majors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another 44,325 places in the Higher Education centers of the country are available for weekly courses, which are mainly attended by workers, as well as distance education (5,500).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
