Would it have anything to do with the fact that Cuba is, God-forbid, Communist !? According to the World Bank, with the notable exception of Cuba, no teaching faculty in the region can be considered to be of high quality when compared to global parameters. The World Bank also notes that today, no Latin American school system, with the possible exception of that of Cuba, has the high standards, strong academic talent, high or at least adequate salaries and high degree of professional autonomy that characterizes the worlds most effective educational systems, such as those of Finland, Singapore, Shanghai (China), the Republic of Korea, Switzerland, the Netherlands and Canada. Indeed the WB finds that only Cuba, where education has been the top priority since 1959, has a truly efficient education system and high-quality teachers. In terms of education, this Caribbean country has no cause to be envious of even the most developed nations. The Caribbean island is also the nation in the world that allocates the highest share of its national budget, 13 percent, to education.
