Five Dominican students—Abril del Rosario, Ismael Durán, Maikol Arias, Mayury Vélez, and Franchesca Minier—have set a Guinness World Record for reading aloud. The group spent 500 hours and 13 minutes reading more than 60 books over a period of 21 days.

The achievement highlights a contrast between disciplined academic pursuits and the tendency of social media algorithms to prioritize viral, often scandalous, content over meaningful accomplishments.
