El Salvador, xAI Strike Deal to Bring Grok Tutor to 5,000 Public Schools

A phased two-year rollout is planned, with pilot details expected in early 2026.

Overview

  • Officials say the program will reach more than one million students across the public school system.
  • xAI will adapt the chatbot to the national curriculum, and the education ministry says teachers will remain central and receive training.
  • The partnership includes co-developing educational datasets, safety frameworks, and classroom audit and security protocols.
  • Authorities have not detailed connectivity or device provisions for remote areas, and unions and civil society groups are pressing for data protection and oversight.
  • Independent reporting on Grok’s prior problematic outputs has heightened calls for transparency and robust safeguards before wider deployment.
