The University of Holguín, with more than 12000 students, integrates several teaching areas in the current school year as part of the investment process of the Ministry of Higher Education in Cuba.

Among the recovered areas stand out the biology and chemistry laboratories, the chemicals warehouse and the natural sciences museum, located in the university branch José de la Luz y Caballero, where pedagogy majors are implemented in
the eastern province.

Considering the recovery of these laboratories, valued at more than 40000 dollars, the pre professional practice is enabled in majors like Chemistry, Biology, and Agronomy. Moreover, there is a development in student scientific groups, stressed the PhD Raymundo Escobar, dean of the Faculty of Natural and Agronomy Sciences.

Jonathan García, an Agronomy student, mentioned the Chemistry laboratory is a valuable teaching support, before they had to go to different enterprises, even to the University of Granma to accomplish researches regarding dissimilar branches of the economy, especially agriculture.

The University of Holguín carries out other investments such as total reparation of the municipal university center Sagua de Tánamo so as the campus for graduate students coming from other provinces who are taking a master degree or PhD in the eastern city.
