The Government of El Salvador showcased the progress it is making in transforming and modernizing its educational system to the President of Peru, Keiko Fujimori, during a visit to the Centro Escolar Marcelino García Flamenco, located in the Santa Tecla district of La Libertad Sur.
The visit was led by the minister of Education, Karla Trigueros, who welcomed the Peruvian leader on behalf of President Nayib Bukele’s administration. During the tour, the minister explained the initiatives underway to improve learning conditions for salvadoran students through the renovation of school infrastructure and the integration of new technologies.
The school visited is part of the Dos Escuelas por Día program, a government initiative aimed at transforming school facilities across the country. The minister highlighted that the project includes spaces designed to accommodate various educational activities, providing better conditions for both students and teachers.
“We are in a completely renovated school; we have top-tier infrastructure, suitable for every type of activity”, Trigueros stated while describing the facilities. She also noted that the design of these centers stems from an initiative championed by the First Lady, Gabriela de Bukele, which seeks to address the specific needs of each area within the educational environment.
Another topic discussed during the visit was the integration of technology and artificial intelligence into teaching processes. The minister explained how these tools are part of broader efforts to modernize the educational system and expand learning opportunities for students.
The salvadoran experience piqued the interest of Fujimori, who noted that Peru is also working on improving its own educational infrastructure. She explained that her country plans to build 500 schools over the coming year and connect them via satellite internet, as part of its strategy to strengthen teaching conditions.
However, the Peruvian leader also highlighted her interest in incorporating some of the initiatives she learned about during the tour, specifically, the use of artificial intelligence as a tutoring tool to complement the in-person instruction provided by teachers. “We are taking this fabulous idea (of AI-based tutoring) back with us, alongside the presence of in-person teachers”, she said.
The meeting also addressed the results of the PISA tests, which the leader pointed to as evidence of the progress she observes in the education of salvadoran students. The visit provided an opportunity to share experiences regarding the changes both countries aim to implement within their respective educational systems.
Through this exchange, El Salvador showcased its strategy presented to the peruvian president of combining upgraded school infrastructure, technological tools, and artificial intelligence as part of its educational transformation. These elements are components of a model designed to expand learning opportunities and address the evolving needs of children and young people.
