A. M. More than 100,000 students and 2,000 teachers will benefit from the “El Salvador Education System Modernization Project,” which seeks to improve the physical and digital infrastructure of schools and strengthen the teaching skills of teachers. The Finance Commission issued a favorable opinion for the Executive Branch to sign a loan agreement for up to US$100 million with the Corporación Andina de Fomento (CAF).
According to Marlon Herrera, Director General of Investment and Public Credit at the Ministry of Finance, the funds will be used to expand interventions in school facilities, strengthen the presidential “Dos Escuelas por Día” program, and provide technological tools such as tablets and computers. Artificial intelligence components will also be incorporated to support teaching work.
The project aims to continue developing structured pedagogies, improve teacher supervision and advising processes, and reduce the basic skills gap among elementary and secondary school students.
In the technological field, in addition to electronic devices, the plan is to implement digital solutions that allow teachers to apply new learning methodologies supported by artificial intelligence.
Nuevas Ideas representative William Soriano emphasized that it is essential to provide teachers with the necessary tools, as they are key players in rebuilding the national education system.
