CODE OF ETHICS FOR FOREIGN STUDENT AT HIGHER EDUCATION CENTERS IN THE REPUBLIC OF CUBA
INTRODUCTION.
Cuba is a Third World country that has achieved a high social development level, particularly, on the education, health and sports fields as a result of the fight and efforts of its people and it shares the benefits of its modest development with brother peoples based on internationalist principles.
This cooperation is accorded on Human Resources training within a very difficult framework due to the blockade the Unites States of America has imposed on Cuba for nearly 50 years and the serious problems of the world economy that have their impact on us. In spite of this, our society has maintained its humanist and solidarity direction and fights to maintain the ethics and moral values that have featured our people.
Since 1961 on, more than 55 000 students representing by 120 brother countries of all continents have attended our teaching centers. 17 000 out of them at university level; currently, this figure is increasing every year. For that reason, based on the experience achieved and the problems arising from the prevailing Neoliberal Globalization in the world, it is needed to ratified certain principles of social behavior leading to a proper participation, in the Cuban society, by all foreign students in our country. These principles comprise a code of ethics which follow up means a moral commitment to its peoples and the Cuban people, on behalf of all foreign students in Cuba.
PRINCIPLES:
To accept and share on the principles of equality with modesty and austerity, the material conditions in which the Cuban people lives; the same Cuban people that in an unselfish and interestless manner offers what it has got to young people from brother countries. This should be assumed by the foreign student as a duty and honor.
To study and accomplish all activities within the teaching syllabus and programs of the course as well as the established disciplinary rules. To achieve, in a clear and honest manner, without practicing academic cheating, and as a result of the student’s personal efforts, the highest marks as a prove of the student’s high level of training, and to return to his/her origin country upon his/her graduation to put the knowledge acquired at the service of its peoples.
To refuse, because it is not in accordance with the rules, customs, traditions and living stndards of our people, the consumption, sale and traffic of drugs; illegal gambling, alcoholism and other vices or anti-social or criminal behaviors. Thus, such behaviors should be rejected by students, including foreign students who attend classes in our country.
The voluntary acceptance of these principles and the adjustment of the individual behavior to its ethical meaning will be a real prove and the goal of the internationalist spirit that supports this cooperation and the supporting solidarity commitment between the Cuban people and the representatives from other brother countries who are studying in Cuba . The above mentioned should be legalized by writing down your name and signature, either for scholars from the Government or self-finance foreign students, as an ethical commitment of each student to his/her people and the people of Cuba.
