Efekta rolls out AI English learning program to four million students across Latin America and Rwanda

K-12 Education: Efekta Launches AI Language Program

The Efekta Education Group has introduced a personalised AI language learning program across Latin America, offering up to four million students an opportunity to improve their English skills effectively.

This initiative extends beyond Latin America to Rwanda, targeting millions of students aged 11 to 17 in countries including Brazil, the Dominican Republic, Mexico, and Rwanda. Efekta’s AI tutor supports faster English acquisition, while an AI-powered classroom assistant helps teachers focus their efforts on students who require additional help.

How Efekta’s AI Tools Support Education

• Classroom AI: Automates repetitive tasks such as grading, freeing up valuable teacher time.
• Addi: An AI tutor that guides students using digital language models adapted to their proficiency levels.

Efekta claims this rollout is the largest trial to date combining AI tutoring with an AI teaching assistant. This initiative builds on their existing English learning programs in Latin America, which have enrolled over four million students since 2022.

Proven Impact on Student Performance

One notable program in Paraná, Brazil, supported 750,000 students. Between 2022 and 2024, these students improved their scores on the state’s standardised English test by 32% after using the platform.

Efekta’s CEO, Stephen Hodges, highlighted the benefits: “By blending AI with a structured curriculum, we give every student a chance to succeed and give teachers extra support. This program shows how technology, teamed with great teachers, can improve education at scale.”
