At present, one of the most sensitive problems for the population is the conduction of drinking water and the treatment of wastewater. The improvement of Cuban Higher Education leads to determining the need to train qualified personnel immediately, distinguished by a theoretical-practical approach, with an attractive offer and a preparation of a higher level than that of an average technician and lower than that of a graduate of a university career, and in different branches of knowledge. In this sense, the qualified labor force for this activity is scarce, coupled with the fact that most university personnel are not in pursuit of the profession and have long-lived characteristics, so the authors of this work set themselves the objective of reflecting on the importance of the formation of the Superior Technician in Water and Sanitation in Cuba, that demonstrates the necessity of the same one in the present times.
