Cuba has always had school for the children. The catholic church educated from the poorest of the poor the the elite. Some children chose not to take interest in education and would not attend, but for the most part, even those would eventually learn enough through life to pretty convincingly fake it. Others would be self taught in reading. I'm not an expert, but, I am a Cuban. My grandfather could not remember the spelling of some words when he wrote, but, could read the newspaper. My grandmother was a teacher. When my grandparents would drop off my father at the front of the school, he would leave out the back door. Yet, thanks to a British family living next door and my grandmothers education, he eventually learned to read and write both languages by age 20. Beny More could have been someone like my dad.
