Google has launched its AI Educator Series in Malaysia, introducing a free training program aimed at equipping educators with the necessary skills to work effectively with artificial intelligence. This initiative, unveiled at Bett Asia 2026, is part of the growing trend of incorporating AI into the education sector in Malaysia. The program, which is accessible for free, was officially introduced as the Ministry of Education (MOE) and Ministry of Higher Education (MOHE) enabled Gemini for Education for millions of students and educators across K-12 schools and public universities.

Over 200,000 educators in Malaysia have already obtained their Gemini Certified Educator certification. The AI Educator Series is a self-paced learning experience that consists of bite-sized lessons, each lasting between 15 and 45 minutes, designed to accommodate educators' schedules. These lessons cover a range of topics, including the creation of lesson plans, supporting materials, parent communications, and the use of vibe coding to develop interactive simulations and assignments.

In addition to the AI Educator Series, Google plans to expand Guided Learning to Google Classroom, allowing teachers to curate their own class materials while providing students with personalized, step-by-step guidance based on the lesson content.
