This document summarizes Uruguay's national program to provide blended remote English instruction to students. It created a strong technology infrastructure, providing laptops and internet access to over 700,000 students. To address a lack of certified English teachers and unequal access to language classes, it implemented a remote teaching program where foreign English teachers provide instruction to multiple classrooms simultaneously via videoconferencing. Evaluation results found annual performance improvements across all socioeconomic groups, high student engagement correlated with online interaction, and that remote teacher interaction was a key predictor of performance. Coordination between remote and classroom teachers also correlated with higher performance. The program demonstrates that social innovation and technology can be effectively combined to connect communities through learning.
