El Salvador’s “My New School” reform, backed by $301.1 million in funding, will integrate AI into public classrooms starting in 2026. The broader reform seeks to modernize education and includes AI literacy as a core component of the updated national curriculum. The initiative is part of El Salvador’s broader digital transformation strategy.
Who it affects: Public school students and teachers across El Salvador.
What is notably missing: No detail on specific curriculum content or learning objectives for AI literacy; teacher training standards and timelines not specified; no information on how AI ethics will be addressed; monitoring and assessment mechanisms not outlined.
