I'm not sure of the countries literacy rate then or now (and just I know according to the Cuban government Cuba is one of the literate Latin countries in the world) but the country was better off financially and had steady growth. Under Castro, the country has basically seen no growth in the last 60 years.

Number 1 in education in all of Latin America and number 1 in healthcare again in all of Latin America.
This is as per World Bank.
As per UN in terms of human development index only Chile is ahead of Cuba in all of Latin America.
