Google on Tuesday said its AI Educator Series will expand to five new countries, adding Spain, Brazil, Mexico, Australia, and sub-Saharan Africa in the coming months.
The company said the free, on-demand training is designed to give teachers practical skills for using artificial intelligence to save time, make lessons more engaging, and support student learning. Google did not give a start date for the new regions.
Google said it first launched the Google AI Educator Series in the United States earlier this year, then expanded to India, Korea, Malaysia, the Philippines, and the U.K. & Ireland. The company described how educators are using tools such as Gemini and Gemini Notebook to design lessons, create visuals, and streamline tasks like parent communications and data analysis.
In India, Google said September sessions trained 80,000 educators and that self-paced online modules are now available to all Indian educators. The training is aligned with National Education Policy 2020 and offered in English and six local languages — Hindi, Marathi, Telugu, Assamese, Odia, and Punjabi — with more coming next year, according to the company.
In the Philippines, Google said it is partnering with the Department of Education, Commission on Higher Education, and Technical Skills Development Authority to bring AI training to over one million educators. The company added that the Department of Education issued an official memorandum endorsing the series to all teaching and non-teaching staff nationwide.
In Malaysia, Google said teachers report saving three to five hours of preparation time per topic after the program’s launch at BETT Asia. The company said it is starting train-the-trainer bootcamps with local partners to extend training to private school educators, pre-service teachers, and university faculty across the country.
In the U.K. and Ireland, Google said all 650,000 teachers can receive digital literacy training by joining virtual or in-person events. The company said it is also hosting train-the-trainer workshops at the Google London office in November. In Korea, Google said the program is aligned with national frameworks in partnership with Seoul National University of Education, with teachers using Gemini tools for inquiry-based lessons and assessments.
Google said new November modules go live in the U.S. on Nov. 4. The modules focus on building interactive assessments, guiding students through game-based learning that highlights data accuracy and model performance, and strengthening assignments by spotting questions that can lead to shortcuts.
