The regulation publishes Bien (4) minima for specified class and curriculum exercises but no universal item count, duration, fee, aggregate pass mark, or pass rate. These English four-option questions are a study adaptation of the legal, methodological, curriculum, digital, PSCT, and language rules.

C.MES Resolución 10/2018, which repealed Resolución 85/2016

D.MES Resolución 140/2019, which repealed Resolución 85/2016

2Which comparison correctly separates the two teaching-category schemes governed by MES Resolución 145/2023 and MES Resolución 10/2018?

A.Resolución 145/2023 covers only university honorary categories, while Resolución 10/2018 covers all university faculty

B.Resolución 145/2023 covers university categories such as Profesor Titular and Profesor Auxiliar, while Resolución 10/2018 covers Profesor Principal, Profesor Ayudante, and Entrenador in authorized postgraduate centers

C.Resolución 145/2023 covers authorized postgraduate centers, while Resolución 10/2018 covers university categories

D.Both resolutions create the same ranks and apply to the same institutions

Explanation: Resolución 145/2023 regulates the university category system, including the principal ranks Profesor Titular, Profesor Auxiliar, and Profesor Asistente. Resolución 10/2018 separately regulates Profesor Principal, Profesor Ayudante, and Entrenador in centers authorized to provide professional postgraduate development.

3Which set contains all three categorías docentes principales named in Article 1 of Resolución 145/2023?

A.Profesor Titular, Profesor Auxiliar, and Instructor

B.Profesor Principal, Profesor Ayudante, and Entrenador

C.Profesor Titular, Profesor Auxiliar, and Profesor Asistente

D.Profesor Emérito, Profesor Invitado, and Profesor Consultante

Explanation: Article 1 identifies Profesor Titular, Profesor Auxiliar, and Profesor Asistente as the three principal teaching categories. Instructor is transitory, the two Auxiliar Técnico ranks are complementary, and Profesor Consultante is a special condition.

4What happens under Resolución 145/2023 when an Instructor reaches the ordinary maximum time in that transitory category without obtaining a principal category?

A.The person automatically becomes Profesor Asistente

B.The person keeps the Instructor category indefinitely without review

C.The person loses all right to work at a university

D.After five years, the person moves to Auxiliar Técnico de la Docencia de Nivel Superior unless the Rector grants an exceptional justified extension

Explanation: Instructor is a transitory category with an ordinary maximum of five years. The Rector may exceptionally extend that period for a justified cause, but otherwise the professor moves to Auxiliar Técnico de la Docencia de Nivel Superior if no principal category has been obtained.

5How is an ordinary university tribunal for granting or revoking teaching categories composed under Resolución 145/2023?

A.Five members, one of whom presides, plus up to four alternates

B.Three members plus exactly two alternates

C.Five members plus no permitted alternates

D.Seven members selected by the faculty trade union

Explanation: Article 44 provides for five tribunal members, with one serving as president, and up to four suplentes. The Rector designates ordinary tribunals under Article 47, subject to the category-specific rank requirements.

6Which category must the tribunal members hold when evaluating a candidate for Profesor Auxiliar under Resolución 145/2023?

A.Profesor Auxiliar or Profesor Titular

B.Profesor Titular

C.Any principal category, including Profesor Asistente

D.Any category if the member has ten years of service

Explanation: Article 44 requires tribunals analyzing Profesor Titular and Profesor Auxiliar candidates to be composed of Profesores Titulares. This is stricter than a general equal-or-higher-rank rule.

7What discipline representation does Article 44 require in an ordinary five-member teaching-category tribunal?

A.Exactly one member from the candidate's discipline

B.All five members from the candidate's department in every case

C.At least three members from the disciplines of professional practice; for basic disciplines, every member must be from the corresponding discipline

D.No discipline specialists because all tribunals must be multidisciplinary

Explanation: At least three tribunal members must be professors in the disciplines associated with professional practice. The rule is tighter for basic disciplines, where the tribunal must consist only of professors from the corresponding discipline.

8How are the president and secretary of an ordinary teaching-category tribunal selected?

A.The Rector separately appoints both officers after the exercises

B.The oldest member becomes president and the youngest becomes secretary

C.The trade union selects both officers before the Rector appoints the members

D.The designated members elect a president and secretary from among themselves at the constitution meeting

Explanation: Article 49 directs the designated tribunal personnel to elect a president and a secretary from among themselves during the constitution meeting. The university unit responsible for category processes convenes that meeting.

9Which record set matches the documents Article 28 uses to decide whether a candidate may begin the category process?

A.An updated faculty file or CV, relevant requirement certificates, the latest Excelente or Bien evaluations, a social and moral evaluation when needed, and the immediate supervisor's endorsement

B.Only a CV and a letter from the candidate

C.A publication list and student survey, with no degree or evaluation certificates

D.Only the certificates for the live exercises, submitted after the tribunal decision

Explanation: Article 28 lists an updated expediente or CV, certifications of the applicable requirements, the latest work evaluations of Excelente or Bien, a social and moral evaluation when the tribunal considers it necessary, and an endorsement from the immediate superior. Article 29 bars the process from starting if a required document is missing.

10Which statement accurately describes who authorizes and grants the principal teaching categories under Article 58?

A.The tribunal itself grants all three categories when it announces exercise grades

B.The Minister authorizes Profesor Titular and Profesor Auxiliar, which the Rector then grants; the Rector grants Profesor Asistente

C.The Rector independently grants every principal category

D.The Minister grants Profesor Titular directly, while the Rector grants Profesor Auxiliar and Asistente without ministerial involvement

Explanation: The Minister of Higher Education authorizes the Rector to grant Profesor Titular and Profesor Auxiliar by ministerial resolution, after which the Rector grants them by rectoral resolution. The Rector directly grants Profesor Asistente, as well as Instructor and the complementary categories.

About the Cuba Teaching Ranks Tribunal Exercises Exam

MES Resolución 145/2023 governs the university categories Profesor Titular, Profesor Auxiliar, Profesor Asistente, Instructor, and two complementary technical ranks. A five-member tribunal first reviews the candidate's documentary eligibility and then evaluates the category-specific live class, curriculum or discipline exercise, legal-rules examination, and ICT component. Titular, Auxiliar, and Asistente also present work involving online courses, while Auxiliar and Asistente have PSCT and foreign-language requirements. Resolución 10/2018 remains a separate scheme for Profesor Principal, Profesor Ayudante, and Entrenador in authorized professional postgraduate centers. This English-language MCQ bank teaches stable rules and distinctions but does not simulate or replace the official dossier, written, oral, language, or live-performance components.

Assessment

Each university calls and schedules its process. After the tribunal verifies the required dossier, candidates complete the exercises assigned to the category: clase metodológica or clase de comprobación, curriculum presentation or discipline dissertation where applicable, legal-rules examination, ICT evaluation, and the online-course presentation required for the three principal ranks. Auxiliar and Asistente must also satisfy PSCT and foreign-language requirements through the regulated pathways.

Time Limit

Not published as a universal duration; timing varies by category, exercise, tribunal, and university schedule

Passing Score

At least Bien (4) on the required class and on the expressly scored Titular or Auxiliar curriculum exercise, plus an integral favorable tribunal decision

Exam Fee

Cuba Teaching Ranks Tribunal Exercises Study Tips from Top Performers

1Distinguish statutory scopes: memorize which ranks fall under MES Resolución 145/2023 (Titular, Auxiliar, Asistente, Instructor) versus MES Resolución 10/2018 (Profesor Principal, Profesor Ayudante, Entrenador in postgraduate centers).

2Master the clase metodológica: Resolución 47/2022 gives it demonstrative and instructive characters, while Resolución 145/2023 requires the tribunal to draw the category-exercise topic 15 calendar days before presentation.

3Keep taxonomy straight in Resolución 47/2022: there are 7 broad organizational teaching forms, and conferencia, clase práctica, seminario, clase encuentro, práctica de laboratorio, and taller are the 6 principal types within clase.

4Compare digital scope by category: Titular presents online-course design, development, mounting, and use; Auxiliar omits design; Asistente covers mounting and use; Instructor has ICT evaluation without a separately listed online-course presentation.

5Memorize tribunal governance: ordinary tribunals have 5 members and up to 4 alternates, and the Minister authorizes both Titular and Auxiliar before the Rector grants them.

Frequently Asked Questions

What official resolutions govern the teaching rank tribunal exercises in Cuba?

In Cuban universities, teaching ranks are governed primarily by Ministerio de Educación Superior (MES) Resolución 145/2023 (published in Gaceta Oficial No. 117 Ordinaria on November 28, 2023, GOC-2023-972-O117), which repealed Resolución 85/2016. Separately, authorized professional postgraduate education centers (centros autorizados de posgrado y escuelas ramales) operate under MES Resolución 10/2018 (published in Gaceta Oficial Extraordinaria No. 13 of 2018).

What are the primary teaching ranks under MES Resolución 145/2023 and their degree requirements?

The principal teaching categories are Profesor Titular, Profesor Auxiliar, and Profesor Asistente. Instructor is transitory, while Auxiliar Técnico de la Docencia de Nivel Superior and de Nivel Medio Superior are complementary. Profesor Titular requires a Grado Científico, and Profesor Auxiliar requires Máster, Especialista, or Grado Científico. Instructor requires graduation from higher education and an academic index of at least 4 or equivalent; other eligibility rules vary by category.

What specific exercises must a candidate perform before the faculty tribunal?

After dossier review, Titular and Auxiliar candidates perform a clase metodológica; Asistente and Instructor perform a clase de comprobación. Titular critically presents a study plan or discipline program, Auxiliar gives a discipline-program dissertation, and Asistente critiques the analytical program of the subject taught. These four categories take a legal-rules examination and an ICT evaluation. Titular, Auxiliar, and Asistente also present online-course work, while Auxiliar and Asistente must satisfy PSCT and foreign-language requirements.

How are the tribunals composed and how are rank decisions approved?

Ordinary tribunals contain five members and up to four alternates, with at least three members from the disciplines of professional practice; a basic-discipline tribunal must consist entirely of professors from that discipline. The members elect a President and Secretary. The tribunal makes a reasoned proposal. The Minister authorizes Titular and Auxiliar before the Rector grants them; the Rector grants Asistente, Instructor, and the complementary categories.

What are the PSCT and foreign language requirements?

Profesor Auxiliar and Profesor Asistente candidates must demonstrate PSCT knowledge and a foreign language useful to their professional field. Either requirement may be satisfied by a previously passed minimum examination associated with an obtained scientific degree or by the relevant teaching-category examination; the recognized results do not expire. The Rector approves the specialized PSCT and language tribunals.

Why is this practice bank presented as an English-language MCQ study adaptation?

The governing rules and locally described tribunal process are in Spanish, while the assessment itself combines documentary, live teaching, presentation, examination, digital, and—for some ranks—PSCT and foreign-language work. This English four-option MCQ bank adapts stable knowledge and procedural distinctions. It is not an official translation, an official-format simulation, or a substitute for the required written, oral, language, dossier, and live-performance components.
