BEFORE THE REVOLUTION The University Of Havana , Cuba's oldest university, was founded in 1721 . By the 1950s the Cuban government had established other universities such as La Universidad De Oriente , and the La Universidad Central De Las Villas . There were a number of private universities, run by lay, Catholic, Mason and Protestant groups. By that time literacy rate was 76% the fourth in the Americas {Link without Title} . AFTER THE REVOLUTION According to UNESCO research, Cuba's primary school students have “almost twice as much knowledge” as the average student in the rest of Latin America. In a 1998 study by UNESCO, Cuban third and fourth graders were better educated in basic language and mathematics skills than children in all other Latin American countries that took part in a study. {Link without Title} All students regardless of age and gender wear school uniforms with the color denoting grade level.
