The Máximo Gómez Polytechnic High School, built with a donation from Cuba and by Cuban technicians, will be ready to start classes on 15 November. It was built on a 13,500 meter lot donated by the Dominican government in the town of Baní. The Cuban government donated the construction of the polytechnic to the town of Baní in symbolic appreciation for that town being the birthplace of Máximo Gómez. Máximo Gómez is known as the liberator of Cuba. The Cuban government invested RD$45 million in the facility that has capacity for 540 students and 50 internships. The facility includes three small food processors (meat, vegetables and milk) and specialized classrooms for teaching informatics, microbiology, chemistry and typing.
