Vocational School "Máximo Gómez Báez"

Inaugurated on September 1, 1976, day of beginning of the course 1976-1977, our school opens its doors with Fidel Castro speech in which made reference at the escolarization level reached then in the country until that and to the narrow relationship that should exist between the teaching and the science and I mention textually: "Because the education has to go chord with the advances of the science and of the technique"

It was starting from here that the Institute Vocational Preuniversitary of Exact Sciences of Camagüey begins its work of educating to young with vision scientific and future developers from how many advances comes in later times.

Initially it begins with a capacity for 2500 internal students in a surface of construction of 45 000 m2 and following a typical architectural pattern of projects elaborated for the whole plan of schools of the years '70 and that it was characterized for "a very studied interconnection plot that one of the dominant features of the group constitutes " (in other words: you can go without wetting you from an end to another in days of rain)

The main architects of the enclosure were Reinaldo Togores Fernández and Carlos López Quintanilla jointly with the consultants Andrés Garrudo and Heriberto Duverger.

The same as the rest of the vocational schools, the study plan embraced the complete cycle Secondary-Preuniversitario being divided, in a principle, in the following way: 1307 students in Secondary Basic and 1193 in Preuniversitary.

As curious data we have that, according to memories descriptive originals of the institution in their inauguration moment, the regime of productive work (... the field, gentleman) it was of 3 daily hours, sew that later it changed (evidently). The distribution of water was carried out for two nets, one for the cold water and the other one for the hot water (ehhhh..... no way of this) and also the "gym" it had a wooden of 18 x 42 m, bathrooms and box offices for students and professors and local for weights, fencing and table tennis.
