OpenAI Partners With 4 EMEA Governments to Bring AI Into Schools as 79% of Students Already Use It

Summary
OpenAI said it is working with education systems in Estonia, Slovakia, Greece and Italy to test how AI can support teachers, with a focus on access, AI literacy and evaluation.
ThinkYoung research cited in the report shows the guidance gap driving that push: 79% of surveyed students use AI for homework or assignments, but only 47% say they have been shown how.
Early lessons from the partnerships point to three conditions for wider rollout — strong public leadership, investment in teachers’ skills and confidence, and support tailored to local curricula and languages.
OpenAI said early signals are encouraging, including teacher adoption and reported time savings, but added that effects on knowledge, independent thinking and retention still need sustained measurement.
The company framed the EMEA work as an early evidence-gathering effort rather than a single model, arguing that AI makes teachers more important as education systems rethink what skills students need.
