Young people of both sexes who have completed their basic secondary
education (nine grades) and who wish to become officers of the Revolutionary
Armed Forces have the possibility of entering these vocational military pre-university
centers, which are named after the outstanding Rebel Army Major Camilo
Cienfuegos, one of the founders of the Revolutionary Armed Forces (FAR) and a very friendly man
of the people, who died in a plane accident in October 1959.
The Camilo Cienfuegos Military Schools are subordinated to the
Revolutionary Armed Forces and there are 14 throughout the country.
Students graduate in arts and sciences, with the physical and mental
capacity, political, moral and disciplinary values and the conviction to become officers
of the Revolutionary Armed Forces.
