Including some 25 seventh-grade students in the Vocational Pre-University Institute of Exact Sciences (IPVCE) Luis Urquiza Jorge (IPVCE) of Las Tunas, is a novelty of the 2024-2025 school year, to advance the recruitment of young talents.
Las Tunas, Cuba.- Orestes Landrove Ramírez, coordinator of the Provincial Training Center of Las Tunas (CPELT), told the Cuban News Agency, exclusively, that the initiative is an optional course that will take place at the IPVCE with students who have already been selected based on skills tests.
More than 200 students from the main municipality took the tests to join the classroom that will work once a week, with a view to intensive preparation for the knowledge contests, said the coach of the Chemistry subject.
This is an additional training aimed at obtaining contestants with higher quality; a kind of advance that must be made in the work with young talents beyond identifying them, since it seeks to promote an earlier development of skills, in this case towards science.
The “Luis Urquiza Jorge” is establishing itself as one of the IPVCEs in the country that contributes the most to the results in national knowledge contests and international events, hence the projection of continuing to strengthen the quarry of future men and women who study these subjects or related careers.
Students must be taken care of taking into account their diversity, Landrove told ACN while he was giving a tour of the institution's teachers who have won awards in the Ibero-American Olympiads in Physics, Computer Science, Chemistry, and other high-level competitions.
Others, although they do not work as IPVCE teachers, are linked as trainers at the Center, which shows that the future is guaranteed with the incorporation of the youngsters who leave the classrooms of this pre-university, which fills me with joy and pride, Landrove emphasized.
The truth is that Orestes Landrove’s motivation, responsibility, and commitment during 30 years in this exercise is passed on today to the more than 120 students who make up the Provincial Training Center of Las Tunas.
According to the renowned pedagogue, the initiative to create a seventh-grade classroom to receive an optional course at the IPVCE is a decision of the educational sector in Las Tunas with no precedent in other Cuban provinces. (ACN)
