Cuba fuel crisis strands 1.4M students as teacher shortage deepens

Cuba's fuel crisis has halted school bus services, leaving 1.4 million students without transport at the start of the school year, while a severe teacher shortage has forced the government to relocate over 3,000 teachers to Havana. Nationwide teacher coverage has fallen to 73%, indicating a deepening systemic crisis in education and public services. The situation underscores the broader economic collapse and its humanitarian impact on the population.
