Many of Habana Vieja's myriad schools are housed in the beautiful old colonial buildings of yesteryear. A workable solution found, I image, with the advent of the revolutionary government's determination to educate the whole population. The restored heritage bldgs, however, are not fully compatible to a school's needs, (often insufficient light, lack of recreational space) so one often sees classes & their teachers in Habana Vieja's 5 public plazas, for sports activities and recess, or transitioning through the streets.
