1/24/2026

History shows that economic gains come from adoption, not just invention. OpenAI is partnering with governments to close the "potential gap" between what AI can do and how people actually use it. The initiative aims to personalize learning and prepare students for a workforce transformed by AI. In-Depth Highlights: Bridging the Skills Gap by 2030 With nearly 40% of core workforce skills expected to change by 2030, static education systems risk falling behind. This program integrates AI directly into the infrastructure of schools and universities, ensuring that students aren't just consumers of technology, but fluent operators ready for the future economy. Access to GPT-5.2 and Beyond This isn't just about basic access. The initiative provides ministries and universities with cutting-edge tools like ChatGPT Edu, GPT-5.2, and step-by-step learning modes. These tools allow for customized local learning experiences, powered by the world's most advanced AI models. From Pilot to Global Standard Starting with partners like Estonia, Greece, and Singapore, the program is already in motion. In Estonia alone, over 30,000 students and educators are onboarded. Coupled with OpenAI Academy certifications, the program offers a tangible way for individuals to signal their AI proficiency to employers worldwide.
