Cuba Maintains Lead in Academic Olympics

Cuba continues its trajectory of excellence in international academic olympiads, adding new medals at the 27th Central American and Caribbean Mathematical Olympiad, recently held in Costa Rica.

The island maintains an outstanding record in these competitions, now reaffirmed by the performance of its students, who secured one gold, one silver, and one bronze medal in the latest edition, highlights the newspaper Adelante.

This success is part of a consistent evolution, where Cuba has consolidated its presence as a regional powerhouse in scientific disciplines, thanks to a preparation system that identifies and nurtures talent from an early age.

Camagüey natives Yeison Alejandro David Abreu (silver) and Javier Ernesto Galindo Nápoles (bronce) embody this continuity, hailing from the Provincial Vocational School and the IPVCE Máximo Gómez, respectively—key institutions in high-performance training.

They are joined by Diego García Rodríguez from Sancti Spíritus, who claimed the gold medal, demonstrating that Cuba’s pipeline of young mathematicians is solid and successfully renewed.

The strategy of including talented middle school students in IPVCE training sessions, as in the case of Javier Galindo, is confirmed as a successful approach to ensure progression and succession in these events.

National coaches emphasize that these results are not isolated but the fruit of sustained methodological work refined after each international participation.

This positive evolution projects an international image of a dynamic Cuba in the realm of knowledge, where its youth constitute the primary capital for the nation’s future development.
