Germany's Rhineland-Palatinate bought every teacher in the state a free fobizz licence for AI-assisted lesson planning and content creation; by end-2024 nearly 75% of schools had activated it, with 21,000+ users and over 1 million AI prompts formulated.
DEBIn early 2024, Germany's Rhineland-Palatinate became one of the first federal states to purchase a state-wide licence for fobizz, a platform run by Fortbildung 2.0 GmbH that combines structured teacher professional-development courses with AI tools for drafting lesson materials, worksheets, quizzes and school communications. The tools draw on models from Anthropic, Mistral AI, OpenAI and Stability AI, giving every teacher in the state free access without individual school procurement.
The licence aimed to give every teacher in Rhineland-Palatinate free, state-funded access to AI-assisted lesson planning and content-creation tools alongside structured professional-development courses, lowering the barrier to classroom AI adoption across all school types.
Teachers used the platform to draft lesson materials, worksheets, quizzes and communications, create virtual classrooms, and complete online training courses on AI and digital teaching practice.
By December 2024 the education ministry reported that almost 75% of the state's schools had activated access, more than 21,000 individual teacher accounts were in use, over 8,500 virtual classrooms had been created, more than 22,000 online training courses had been started, and teachers had formulated over one million AI prompts.
In February 2026 the ministry approved a EUR 1.378 million licence extension through July 2026, and the state-licence model has since been adopted by Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, though the reported figures remain administrative usage counts rather than independent measures of learning or teaching-quality impact.
