Cubans are giving the final touches for the beginning of the 2009-2010 school year, when about three million students are expected to attend classes on September 1.

Nearly 400,000 teachers and professors in over 13,000 educational centers will join the staffs in those schools, but that number is not enough for a successful academic course, as educational authorities expect.

The work during this weekend to leave schools ready to begin the upcoming school year includes cleaning educational institutions and fitting out those centers with school materials, including audio-visual aids, which are used to support the country's teaching process.

According to educational sources, this school year will be marked by some cahnges at the teaching levels, as part of an improvement process started shortly after the triumph of the Revolution in January, 1959.

Taking admission exams on Mathematics, Spanish Language and History of Cuba to enter higher education, as well as more class schedules for the country's university teacher training centers are among those changes.
