The University of Havana switched to hybrid learning mode due to the ongoing fuel crisis, with scholarship students supported until they can be transported back to their provinces, as announced by journalist MagJorgeCastro on X at approximately 1:16-2:16 AM UTC on February 6, 2026. CiberCuba confirmed the change to semi-presential mode in a post during the same one-hour reporting window. This decision follows Las Tunas authorities' suspension of bus departures to major cities including Camagüey, Holguín, and Santiago de Cuba due to fuel shortages, as reported by MagJorgeCastro in the previous hour from 12:16 AM to 1:16 AM UTC. It compounds the Cuban regime's nationwide halt of public transportation announced at 7:00 PM UTC on February 5 amid energy and fuel crises. The University of Havana's measure aligns with the University of Holguín's suspension of classes until at least March, confirmed by university sources to MagJorgeCastro, as noted in prior reports. CiberCuba linked to a detailed article on the semi-presential shift, highlighting the energy collapse impacting educational institutions across Cuba.
