The document sent to the Provincial Directorate of Education by Niurka Tejeda García, specialist of the Admission Commission of the University of Ciego de Ávila, informs that on December 16, the second offer will be made for those who passed the exams and were left without careers.

The information also adds that on December 22, both university specialties and Higher Technicians will be granted to those who applied but did not pass.

Lázaro Padrón Pereira, director of Higher Secondary Education in the province, explained that of the 1,536 students who graduated from high school, 366 have in their hands the continuity of their studies at the Ministry of the Interior and university colleges.
