El Salvador’s AI-Powered Education Pilot Delivers PISA Results Comparable to Germany and Sweden
A pilot program combining artificial intelligence, teacher training, connectivity and new learning methods has produced striking results in 171 public schools, offering a potential model for technology-driven education reform across Latin America.

The results, announced by the Salvadoran government in September, involved 1,198 students from 171 public schools participating in the country’s Education Modernization Project. The students were evaluated through PISA for Schools, an OECD-linked assessment designed to provide internationally comparable information about individual schools and their students.
