Martí and Fidel’s ideals evoked in Jamaican schools
Jamaica, 19 May 2026. Across Jamaica, seventy-one schools held lessons to commemorate the 131st anniversary of the fall in battle of our National Hero, José Martí.
The initiative, organised by members of the Educational Brigade, enabled pupils to learn about the life and work of the most universally recognised Cuban, highlighting his political work and his literary works dedicated to children and young people. Through simple verses, the students also demonstrated the Spanish language skills they had acquired.
