Education is free, from nursery school through university. Students are more likely to study when they prove they are faithful "to the goals of Cuba" and show loyalty to the Communist Party. This is registered from the first day a pupil comes to primary school. There is no guarantee of a career after finishing education. There are university educated Cubans that work as cleaners.
