The Federation of University Students (FEU) of the Psychology program at the University of Havana has voiced strong opposition to the recent price hike implemented by ETECSA, the state telecommunications company. The students argue that the increased rates pose a significant barrier to internet access, which is crucial for their academic pursuits and communication.
In a statement, the FEU emphasized that reliable internet connectivity is essential for conducting research, accessing educational resources, and maintaining effective communication among peers and faculty. The rising costs threaten to isolate students from vital online platforms, ultimately hindering their academic performance and collaborative efforts.
The FEU called for a reconsideration of the price adjustments, urging the government to prioritize equitable access to technology for all students. They believe that affordable internet is a right that should be guaranteed, as it plays a fundamental role in fostering an inclusive and supportive educational environment.
