Cuba joined UNESCO in August 1947. Its capital, Havana, is home to the Regional Bureau for Culture in Latin America and the Caribbean (ORCALC), which in February 2005 celebrated its 50th anniversary.
Cuba’s record on literacy and education is noteworthy: 99.8 percent of Cubans aged over 15 are literate, a rate that reaches 100 percent for those in the 15 to 24 age range.
As of September 2006, Cuba has 62 schools participating in UNESCO’s Associated Schools Project Network (ASPnet).
