Greece's OpenAI-backed 'AI in Schools' pilot brings GDPR-compliant ChatGPT Edu to 20 secondary schools in phases — teacher training in late 2025, then classroom use, then student access from 2026 — with a ministry task force monitoring results before nationwide expansion.

Promoter
Hellenic Ministry of Education, Religious Affairs and Sports / OpenAI / Onassis Foundation / The Tipping Point in Education

Keywords

Context

Greece's 'AI in Schools' pilot, launched under the 'OpenAI for Greece' partnership between the Hellenic Ministry of Education, OpenAI, the Onassis Foundation and the nonprofit 'The Tipping Point in Education', introduces GDPR-compliant ChatGPT Edu access into 20 secondary schools (14 public model schools plus 6 in the Onassis network).

Activities

The rollout is staged: teacher training on AI literacy and ethical use ran October-November 2025, teachers began using the tool in lesson preparation and administration from December 2025, students started using it under supervision from March 2026, and full integration is planned for the 2026-2027 school year. A ministry AI task force was created to monitor the pilot.

Conclusions

As of the most recent public reporting, no learning-outcome data or formal evaluation results had been published; the programme is still in its early implementation phase and its expansion beyond the pilot schools depends on the outcome of that evaluation.
