About the Partnership
EdTech Hub’s AI Observatory & Action Lab maps how AI is transforming education in low- and middle-income countries and serves as a global reference point for researchers and decision-makers working in this field. The partnership with Fundación Ceibal will bring that methodology and evidence base to Latin America and the Caribbean, combining it with Ceibal’s pre-existing AI areas of work, deep regional expertise in digital transformation and innovative educational research, and convening power. Ceibal supports educational digital transformation initiatives abroad and promotes research in educational innovation.
This includes drawing on Fundación Ceibal’s Regional Diagnostic on Digital Education Transformation, which covers 27 countries and identifies AI governance as one of the most pressing gaps facing education systems today. This partnership builds on and deepens existing collaborations with International Development Research Centre (IDRC), the GPE KIX Regional Hub, and other regional partners, ensuring that this initiative contributes to a broader and well-connected regional ecosystem.
Together, EdTech Hub and Fundación Ceibal will work to close that gap, helping governments and education leaders across the region make informed, evidence-based decisions about AI in education.
AI is already changing classrooms across our region — and the world. Often faster than policy can keep up. This partnership with EdTech Hub’s AI Observatory and Action Lab provides us a stronger, shared base of evidence to help governments respond thoughtfully rather than reactively.”
– Roberto Porzecanski, Executive Director of Fundación Ceibal
