The educative work of the teachers, from the instruction

Abstract

Everybody recognizes the mission of the Cuban medical university and its responsibility in the formation of the human resources required by the National Health System to fulfill its social task. We also assess the directing role of the society in the educational settings, through the interrelation with other systems, like school and family. In fact, we explain how the education, as a science, is not ideology free, and therefore, its supreme objective is the formation of an individual not only with a solid scientific-technical preparation, but also with high ethic, politic, ideological and moral values, who behaves with a high compromise to the society. We expose the necessities of the educative and politico-ideological work from the instruction, and also the different educative influences the students are subject to in the teaching settings of the High Medical Education in Cuba. The authors of the article argue for the challenge the current Cuban university affronts, when extending its essential processes to the territories, looking for making real a social politic coincident with our times, and specially when we back up the vital necessity of preserving and increasing the quality of these extended processes. We make well-founded comments of the educative influences exerted on the students by the teachers through their personal example and point out at the qualities they should have.
