Education reforms in El Salvador and Dominican Republic

Overview

In El Salvador, the teachers' union Frente Magisterial Salvadoreño has criticized the government's school modernization program. A report by Clara Sofía Guerrero highlights issues such as superficial remodels, deteriorating infrastructure including windows and desks, and a lack of cafeterias. The union also expressed concerns regarding restrictive regulations on school décor and sports equipment, as well as a curriculum shift that prioritizes language and mathematics over other subjects.

In the Dominican Republic, the government initiated a National Consultation for the Transformation of Education. This plan includes eight action lines focused on curriculum flexibility, the integration of artificial intelligence and digital skills through a STEAM model, and expanded technical-professional training. The initiative seeks to establish continuous learning assessments and strengthen partnerships between universities, business groups, and technical institutions to address a learning crisis noted by UNESCO and the World Bank.
