Google is taking its artificial intelligence training programme for educators across India. This comes as schools and higher education institutions increasingly explore AI for teaching and administrative work.
The company announced nationwide online and in-person Google AI Educator Training Sessions on September 4, coinciding with Teachers’ Day. The initiative forms part of the Google AI Educator Series (GES) and offers free training aligned with India’s National Education Policy (NEP) 2020.
The programme aims to help educators move beyond basic AI awareness and apply the technology to everyday classroom requirements.
Training covers the use of Gemini for discipline-specific learning, lesson preparation, assessments, feedback and administrative workflows. Google said the programme is designed around the practical needs of teachers, allowing them to save time while retaining meaningful interactions with students.
The approach reflects a wider shift in education technology. Instead of positioning AI as a substitute for teachers, Google is promoting it as a tool that can support educators with routine work and personalised learning.
Google announced the expansion of GES to India in May. The tech giant collaborated with the governments of Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh and Assam, the Union Territory of Ladakh, and the Punjab School Education Board. The aim is to bring practical, mobile-first AI training to educators.
The initiative also includes localisation efforts. Google said, “ The training is being customised for Indian educators, including support across multiple Indian languages, to make AI learning more accessible.”
