Assuming that the Cuban system of badges is similar to the Soviet one I would expect three main types of Academy badges.The badge below, a blue enamelled Junior Officer version and a white enamelled one for Military Academies, with the rank of Major and above.
The images of Academy Badges being worn on the right are too small to see any detail, I suspect that they are Soviet Academy Badges though.

The white enamelled badge for Military Academies, with the rank of Major and above.
This badge is possibly the one shown worn on the the images in the above post.

Under Soviet uniform regulations, officers could wear two academy/university badges - one for the highest military academy graduated from, and the other from the highest civilian educational institution (if I'm remembering correctly). I suspect that if someone from Cuba were allowed to attend a Moscow military academy (the only ones for foreign officers), then it was a sufficiently prestigious badge to be allowed to wear it along with any others. At least that's my best guess.:)

Re: Cuban Military Academies and Schools, Academy badges

I received just today this badge. It appears an academy award but it's different from the others in shape and colour.

This is dark blue. Anyone have some info?

Re: Cuban Military Academies and Schools, Academy badges

I would guess it's a University graduate award - looks similar to soviet ones.
