Google Expands AI-Powered Learning Tools Across Africa with Free Student Offer
Google has expanded its AI-powered learning tools across Africa, offering eligible higher education students in 27 countries one year of Google AI Plus at no cost. The offer includes Gemini Omni, double the usage limits in Gemini, and 400 GB of cloud storage across Google Drive, Gmail, and Google Photos.
The initiative aims to support research, coursework, revision, and everyday academic tasks for university and college students. Eligible students can verify their status through SheerID to claim or renew their 12-month Google AI Plus subscription at gemini.google.com/students.
This expansion follows last year's Gemini student offer, which allowed previous claimants to renew their access for another 12 months, subject to re-verification. Alex Okosi, Managing Director for Google in Africa, says the initiative reflects the company's commitment to making advanced AI tools more accessible to Africa's next generation of learners and innovators.
