OpenAI launches "National Education Initiative," first eight countries to cooperate.

AIMPACT News, May 20 (UTC+8), according to official sources, OpenAI announced that with over 900 million people using ChatGPT weekly and over 4 million people using Codex, AI agents are expected to bring greater creativity, intelligence, and technical capabilities to every student. OpenAI places high importance on the impact of AI on cognition, learning, and long-term development, emphasizing that responsible deployment requires government-led large-scale research collaboration.
The "Education for Countries" initiative, launched at the Davos Forum earlier this year, has formed its first group of national partners, including Estonia, Greece, Italy's CRUI, Slovakia, Trinidad and Tobago, Kazakhstan, the UAE, and Jordan. The collaboration advances along three core pillars: research-driven deployment, localized AI learning tools, and teacher training and empowerment.
Estonia has deployed ChatGPT Edu nationwide through the AI Leap Foundation, covering over 20k students and 4,600 teachers, and is collaborating with the University of Tartu and Stanford University to study AI's impact on classroom learning. Jordan's AI education assistant Siraj has covered over 1 million students and 100k teachers. Greece has launched an AI startup accelerator, selecting 21 AI-native startups from 240 applications. Kazakhstan has deployed ChatGPT Edu in 20 regions nationwide, with over 84k educators completing AI readiness training; 90% of surveyed teachers reported that ChatGPT Edu is helpful to their work, and active teachers sent 1.5 million prompts in the first month. An early university survey in Slovakia shows that over 90% of teachers reported increased work efficiency, saving about 5 hours per week.
Singapore has officially confirmed its participation in the initiative. The Singapore Ministry of Education will collaborate with OpenAI to support personalized learning use cases, such as helping students learn their mother tongue in a more interactive way. OpenAI will also support educators through a Singapore-exclusive OpenAI Academy chapter and a "Codex for Teachers" hackathon.
OpenAI stated that it will soon launch the first phase of the "OpenAI Luminaries" program, focusing on co-design with teachers, classroom practice resources, and cross-country sharing of teacher-led cases. The next batch of national partners is being selected and will be announced later this year.
