Sumario:Human talent as a competitive advantage requires appropriate training. El Salvador, with 6.744,113 habitants, has a young population over 45%, from which only 1% can access to higher education, while the rest is either unemployed, or working in the formal or informal sectors of economy. The research surveys the results of the Learning Skills Test (PAES) applied at the end of the middle school level. It also discusses new illiteracy in the student population, including learning disabilities and mastery of English language and ICT skills. The study surveyed 85 school students who took the PAES and 306 college test for new illiteracy. It was observed that students of private institutions achieve higher scores than the public, and that age is critical for the test performance. The new literacy in the early years of college is present, the functional level, informatics and language, limiting access to jobs and scholarships in English speaking countries. It is inferred that El Salvador is not forming enough talent to be considered competitive.
