What is Búsquedas Investigativas?

BI is an intensive weeklong educational seminar that facilitates research on the Cuban educational system, policies, and practices at all levels, from day care to university and postgraduate education. BI is a unique opportunity to collaborate with Cuban educators in exploring Cuban educational practices and the complex –and global--issues of contemporary education. Hundreds of U.S. and international professionals and students have participated since the founding of our exchange in 1994!

With the assistance of the Association of Cuban Educators which was founded in 1989. The Association is a national non-governmental organization of active and retired teachers, researchers, and educational professionals dedicated to research, the upgrading of its members, and the encouragement of Cuban educators.
