Cuba Ends School Year Early Due to Fuel Shortage

Cuban schools are ending the academic year early because of a fuel shortage that has limited transportation and operations. The decision affects an education system already facing resource constraints. Officials said the shortage stems from limits on oil imports.

The fuel shortfall has reduced the ability of schools to maintain regular schedules and services. No timeline for resumption of normal operations was provided. Students and staff will conclude classes sooner than planned across affected regions.
