Nuevitas, July 22.- Out of the 16 Secondary School students who represented Nuevitas in knowledge contests at the national level, two became winners in the subjects of Biology and Spanish. The result of English is still pending.
Niely Fernández, head of secondary and pre-university education in the town, informed Radio Nuevitas that the first winner was Daniel de Jesús Oberta Borrel, an eighth-grade student at the Victoria de Girón high school with a silver medal. The second one was Emely Alejandra Fatela Sánchez, a seventh-grade student at Ignacio Agramonte.
The municipality was represented in the subjects of English, Spanish, Biology, and History, after the satisfactory results at the provincial level, with students belonging to the América Latina, Victoria de Girón, and Ignacio Agramonte schools of the municipal seat, as well as the Raúl Mixed Center Hernández, from Camalote, and Álvaro Barba, from Las 80 in Santa Lucía.
On June 4, the national competitions began, which were an opportune moment to demonstrate the quality of learning beyond the mastery of the skills that are taught in the regular classes of each subject.
Participation in knowledge contests contributes to the vocational and comprehensive training of the students and guarantees that they establish themselves as future men and women of science, just as the Commander in Chief, Fidel Castro, stated.
