In recent years, Cuba has been immersed in a process of profound change. Among these changes, one that has been less addressed by specialists both inside and outside the island is ‘education reform’, specifically at the university level. The relevance of this study is to understand the current university education policy as the one that has perhaps the most political content, the analysis of which would help to understand the challenges in political and ideological matters faced by the government of Cuba today. Therefore, the present work makes a critical assessment of the Cuban educational model based on values as a central focus of university policy and its relevance in the transcendental process of change happening in Cuba today. For students of public policy, the Cuban case encapsulates an important singularity that allows the possibility of analysing short-term versus long-term assessments of public problems (Ascher 2009). It also allows us to learn about social and policy challenges in a country that has achieved universal mass, free and quality education that has been able to extend itself beyond the capital (Mészarós 2008). What happens next? A reflection on the role of education in a changing society is one of the main purposes of this work
