Google allocated $1.5 million to Mriya: how AI will change education in Ukrainian schools

The Ukrainian educational ecosystem 'Mriya' received support from Google.org in the amount of $1.5 million for the development of digital education in Ukraine. The project became a participant in the Google.org Fellowship program, and the funds will be directed towards the implementation of artificial intelligence-based tools. This was reported by 'Glyavkom' referring to the Ministry of Digital Transformation.

Support from Google will allow the integration of AI technologies based on Gemini into the 'Mriya' system. At the first stage, AI will be used to provide personalized educational content recommendations and reduce the routine workload on teachers. In the future, artificial intelligence will help create individual educational trajectories for each child, taking into account their interests and needs.

Positive feedback on the initiative from Google

The First Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine - Minister of Digital Transformation Mykhailo Fedorov noted that support from Google is 'an important signal that Ukraine is creating innovative products.' According to him, in September, over 2,000 schools have already started training with 'Mriya.' In 2026, it is planned to launch a pilot project in preschool institutions and develop a concept for higher education.

Rowan Barnett, Director of Google.org Europe, also emphasized that the company believes in education as the foundation for a better future. According to him, this partnership is evidence of a shared mission to use technology to open new opportunities.

The implementation of the initiative will take place in partnership with the East Europe Foundation. The president of the foundation, Viktor Lyakh, noted that the integration of artificial intelligence and the expansion of applications for preschoolers will make learning even more interesting and accessible.

The 'Mriya' project began its pilot phase in September 2024, and in April 2025, the web portal and application became available to every interested school. Thanks to the support from Google, it is planned to accelerate the scaling of the project, implementing it in schools across Ukraine.
