El Salvador's AI tutoring pilot lifts students to Germany-Sweden levels in just one year
ccerrato147 · x · 2026-09-07
El Salvador's pilot program with AI tutors in 171 public schools produced PISA-for-Schools results above the national average and comparable to Germany and Sweden after just over a year — a gain of more than a full standard deviation. For context, the country scored 343 in math on the 2022 PISA, near the bottom globally. The program has since expanded to over 1,000 schools and will cover every public school within 18 months.
