Education authorities in Holguín, Cuba, announced a package of five measures on February 6, 2026, at approximately 8:00 PM UTC to sustain the school year amid the nationwide energy collapse, according to an X post by MagJorgeCastro during the 1 hour 29 minute reporting window from 7:16:18 PM to 8:46:04 PM UTC (https://x.com/MagJorgeCastro/status/2019867610557587950). The measures include semi-in-person classes with alternatives like worksheets and videos for students unable to attend due to transportation issues; no absences marked for late arrivals; daycare centers and semi-boarding schools remaining open as long as possible to support working mothers; redistribution of boarding school students to nearby institutions; and reorganization of technical training into remote and meeting-based formats two days a week with local internships, as detailed in the X post. This announcement follows the Cuban regime's 7:00 PM UTC declaration of a special television program at 19:00 UTC featuring ministers to address the total fuel crisis, as reported by MagJorgeCastro in the prior window from 6:16:24 PM to 7:16:13 PM UTC. The Holguín measures address impacts from the deepening fuel shortage, which paralyzed inter-provincial transport in Granma province earlier on February 6, according to previous reports by MagJorgeCastro, amid paralyzed oil shipments noted by Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum's aid confirmation at 6:00 PM UTC.
