By KYIV. Dec 2 (Interfax-Ukraine) – Google will provide Ukraine with $2 million for digital education for Ukrainians and 50,000 free annual Workspace licenses for the government.
Deputy Prime Minister – Minister of Digital Transformation Mykhailo Fedorov said on Telegram that the Ministry of Digital Transformation agreed on this during a meeting with the team of the tech giant.
"Google services have already become part of the infrastructure of the Ministry of Digital Transformation. Now other government agencies can work faster, despite the shelling and constant threats of Russian cyberattacks. This will be helped by 50,000 Google Workspace licenses, which the authorities will be able to use for free all year round," he wrote.
According to Fedorov, a $2 million grant from Google will be used by the ministry to train Ukrainians in digital literacy, bridge the digital divide and scale up the Diia. Digital Education platform.
It is planned to launch an English version of the portal with reskilling programs, personalized learning trajectories with AI elements, as well as employment recommendations, which will allow many in the future to find jobs in demand and contribute to the economic revival of the state.
Google will also contribute to the development of the Diia. Digital Education national project, involving specialists from the Google.org Fellowship program in its technological and communications transformations.
