Cuba is attending today the International Symposium on educational policies in session at Unesco, in which issues such as school leadership, monitoring, evaluation and governance under the 2030 Agenda are discussed.

The monitoring of those issues is for the Caribbean nation a main priority facing the process started as a result of the political will and serious commitment of the government in the process of the implementation of the new 2030 Educational Agenda, members of the delegation commented.
