On August 24–25, 2026, President Nayib Bukele delivered a national address to young Salvadorans at Estadio Mágico González, outlining new education initiatives. He announced that the government would increase annual education investment to over $3 billion, which he said is triple the amount spent by previous administrations and equivalent to more than 8% of GDP, adding that this would make El Salvador the highest education investor in Latin America relative to its economy. Bukele also stated that the government would provide 50,000 scholarships for university, technical, and vocational programs, and detailed ongoing efforts including providing computers to all students, connecting schools to the internet (which he said is at 70% coverage), remodeling two schools per day, and introducing AI tutors for students. In his remarks, Bukele framed the event as a turning point for the country, saying the day "changes El Salvador" and that it should be more than a speech or program launch. He credited his administration's security policies with restoring peace, stating that "security gave us back peace" and that youth "went from fear to this." He also called on business leaders and multilateral organizations to recognize Salvadoran youth as talented and motivated, and he thanked teachers for their role in the education process. The address was attended by the vice president, lawmakers, diplomats, and university representatives, according to the broadcast.
