Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

After taking power in 1959, Fidel Castro’s regime fundamentally changed Cuban society. In the early 1960s, a program to spread literacy throughout Cuba was initiated. A healthcare system was created which would not only become the envy of countries in the global south, but also the global north. Cuba also has a highly advanced biotechnology industry12.

Castro’s cultural legacy is also notable. Immediately after the 1959 revolution, in a speech in Holguin in February 1960, Castro celebrated the creation of the fourth “school city” in a little over a year since the revolution, in this case providing access to education and transport to school for 4,000 children2.

However, I could not find any information on how Castro advanced Cuban culture after taking power in 1959.
