AI may be the current buzzword, but it really does mark a paradigm shift in the way we all use technology. The rate of change can seem daunting at times and it can feel like too much effort to learn about AI on top of being a teacher, but for students to leave school well-prepared for careers in the 21st century, it’s important that educators can speak the language of a modern classroom.

Industry-leading security
Gemini Education benefits from the same best-in-class security and data protection policies as Google Workspace, ensuring your information you share with Gemini is yours and not shared with other parties or used to train future AI models.
Cutting edge AI
Gemini Education uses 1.0 Ultra, Google’s most capable language model widely available today. It surpasses GPT-4 on a range of benchmarks and is the first model to outperform human experts on one of the most popular methods to test the multitask abilities of AI models.
Advanced data protection
Built-in Data Loss Prevention (DLP), advanced information rights management (IRM) and encryption controls gives schools the peace of mind that whatever they use Gemini Education for, Google takes a structurally safer approach to protecting your data.
No reliance on third parties
Gemini is built on Google’s own secure infrastructure – the same that is used by Search, YouTube and Gmail – so you can rest assured that your interactions with Gemini are confined to an ecosystem trusted by over 3 billion people around the world.
Lower cost option
Gemini’s powerful text tools can be accessed for free, but for users who seek AI integration with Gmail, Meet and other Google Workspace apps there are two options that offer a significantly lower entry point than Copilot for M365.
More flexibility
Gemini Education can be added to whichever edition of Google Workspace for Education your school already uses (even Fundamentals), making it as simple as possible to deploy AI-powered features to your teachers, office staff and SLT quickly.
