Over 1,500 Panamanian Teachers Train in AI and Digital Tools

More than 1,500 Panamanian teachers are participating in a comprehensive training program focused on artificial intelligence, digital platforms like Canva, and other technological tools. The initiative, spearheaded by the Ministry of Education, seeks to strengthen teaching methodologies and align the educational system with the demands of the digital era.

The program includes initial training for at least 1,500 educators from various regions across Panama. These teachers will then share their newly acquired knowledge with colleagues nationwide. This effort is part of the 'Entre Pares' (Among Peers) initiative, a teacher training project that has been active since 2010 and has now been revitalized by educational authorities.

Training sessions cover artificial intelligence, the development of technological projects, and the effective use of digital tools to leverage internet access in schools. Participants expressed that the goal is to transform classrooms into more dynamic, innovative, and challenging environments for students by utilizing digital resources that facilitate learning. Teachers also believe these seminars will enable them to impart knowledge more effectively in an increasingly digitalized world.

This initiative is a key component of broader efforts to enhance digital competencies within Panama's educational system, ensuring students are better prepared for the future.
