Guatemala’s Ministry of Education (MINEDUC) launched a Digital Transformation Policy in June 2025, with a strategic roadmap to modernize public education and bridge the digital divide by 2035. The policy prioritizes connectivity, device distribution, infrastructure upgrades, and digital skills training for teachers and students. By 2027, the government aims to reach 80% connectivity coverage in secondary schools and provide devices at scale.
Who it affects: Students in secondary schools; teachers; public education workforce
What is notably missing: The policy emphasizes basic digital literacy and infrastructure, not AI-specific education or curriculum. No AI ethics component is documented. No binding timeline or enforcement mechanism for the 2027 targets. Teacher training for AI pedagogy is not mentioned; digital skills focus is general, not specialized to AI literacy.
