The Assam government signs memorandums of understanding (MoUs) with six organisations to collaborate on introducing and using artificial intelligence in the state’s school education system, Assam Education Minister Ranoj Pegu says.
Outlets describe the MoUs as part of an effort to create a technology-enabled, inclusive and learner-centric education ecosystem. Free Press Journal reports the agreements are signed in connection with Samagra Shiksha Assam, and details how different partners are expected to focus on different areas of schooling and teacher support.
Free Press Journal adds specific programme directions for several partners: Google AI is set to focus on AI-powered tools and teacher development; IIT Madras and Bodhan AI are linked to teacher AI proficiency training for Grades 6–12 (around 1 lakh teachers proposed to be trained by May 2027). It also says LEHS–Wadhwani AI aims to support foundational literacy through AI-enabled reading-fluency assessment; Educate Girls is expected to help with identification, enrolment and retention of out-of-school adolescents, particularly girls; and EkStep–AXL and Canva Education are intended to support personalised learning and digital literacy and creativity.
Business Line frames the tie-ups more generally around creating an inclusive, learner-centric learning environment, without listing the partner-specific roles. Both accounts attribute the initiative to the Assam education ministry.
