On June 13, 2025, the Ministry of Education of Chile launched the Guiding Framework for Teachers’ Digital Competencies, developed by MINEDUC through its Innovation Centre and Centre for Improvement, Educational Research and Experimentation with support from UNESCO and a committee of experts. The framework aims to support teachers by offering a clear and contextualized guide to integrate the use of new digital technologies, including AI, into their pedagogical practices.
Who it affects: Teachers and educators in Chilean schools; indirectly affects all students as the framework guides teacher practice.
What is notably missing: The framework is a guidance document, not a binding mandate or law. No dedicated funding is allocated specifically for implementing the framework or training teachers to use it. Teacher training participation is voluntary, not mandatory. The framework does not specify assessment mechanisms to verify teacher competency or compliance. No timeline for nationwide rollout is provided.
