In the Dominican Republic, students from the Universidad Abierta para Adultos (UAPA) developed ‘Aula Digital RD’, an AI-driven platform designed to prevent school dropout rates. By monitoring student engagement metrics such as login frequency and assignment submissions, the tool identifies students at risk of leaving the educational system. The project secured third place in the 2026 National Entrepreneurship Competition organized by the Ministry of Higher Education, Science and Technology (MESCYT). In Misiones, Argentina, the Ministry of Education is integrating AI into a secondary school competition titled ‘Te cuento de qué se trata’. This initiative tasks students with using AI to research and produce audiovisual content to help identify warning signs of human trafficking and exploitation, such as suspicious recruitment tactics and unrealistic job offers. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-25: Artificial intelligence used in educational initiatives in Argentina and Dominican Republic Students in Argentina and the Dominican Republic are using artificial intelligence to combat human trafficking and school dropout rates through specialized digital tools and educational platforms. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/artificial-intelligence-used-in-educational-initiatives-in-argentina-and-dominican-republic ### 2026-08-18: UAPA students win entrepreneurship award for AI school dropout prevention tool UAPA students in the Dominican Republic won third place in a national entrepreneurship competition with ‘Aula Digital RD’, an AI platform designed to prevent school dropout. 5 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/uapa-students-win-entrepreneurship-award-for-ai-school-dropout-prevention-tool --- Cite as: AI implementation in Latin American education.
