- Abstract
In the framework of the recent reforms promoted by the government of Cuba, current higher education policy is called to contribute to the race for national efficiency, but moreover to strengthen the political and ideological work of the universities. Compared with other measures, this state policy has been somewhat behind in debates and public scrutiny. Furthermore, it is considered a great difficulty to identify a new education policy. However, despite the apparent "nonnovelty," this article shows that the current university policy is changing and that those changes are deep and powerful. From an analytical approach to the politics of public policy, the article suggests that while policy changes are relevant, the logic of politics that underlies this process does not seem to be transforming in equal measure. And so we are faced with the tension between change and no change, which has profound implications in the long term. If the ultimate goal of reform is to make Cuban socialism sustainable, then the concern of this article is to understand how current educational policy contributes to that purpose.
