El Salvador expands AI tutor program to all public schools after pilot scores match Germany and Sweden. President Nayib Bukele announced the expansion to over 1,000 schools, aiming for every public school nationwide within 18 months.

Pilot results in reading, mathematics and science exceeded El Salvador's national average and were comparable to averages in Germany and Sweden, according to President Nayib Bukele. The pilot, which includes AI tutors, ran in 171 public schools for just over a year and was evaluated by PISA for Schools in June. The World Bank called the results highly promising, crediting student-centered reform. Bukele added that the program has already expanded beyond 1,000 schools and projected nationwide coverage within 18 months, saying security was only the beginning of the country's transformation.
