Santa Clara: The school for children with physical-motor disabilities Marta Abreu will be inaugurated here next week, after a process of total remodeling, Prensa Latina reports.

The center joins those already opened in the cities of Havana and Santiago de Cuba with similar characteristics and will provide rehabilitation for disabled infants from the provinces of Camagüey, Ciego de Ávila, Sancti Spíritus, Villa Clara and Cienfuegos.

When the center begins functioning at full capacity, it will receive 120 children, each with a companion who will support the rehabilitation process, the school's principal, Xiomara Perdomo, said.

The students in a first stage will receive pedagogical training from the preschool to the secondary level.

The Minister of Education, Ena Elsa Velázquez, recently visited the facility and was interested in the preparation of the staff that will teach internal and semi-internal students.

Velázquez toured the premises, its exteriors, its classrooms and areas where the children will receive specialist attention for their physical and psychological rehabilitation, and the subsequent incorporation into society.

The contractor Jose Basilio Nováez stressed, for his part, that a total remodeling was carried out, which included aluminum carpentry, roofing, elimination of architectural barriers and electrical and plumbing installations.

He indicated that the general cost of the work exceeds the 6 million 400 thousand pesos, built with the greatest care by the builders, with a view to create a beautiful school that allows a healthy and happy rehabilitation to these infants protected by the Revolution.
