Adobe has announced a free education initiative for Indian government schools, offering Adobe Express for Education and AI skill-building resources across seven states. The company signed Memorandums of Understanding with Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Tamil Nadu, Bihar, Assam and Goa to expand its K-12 reach in India.
The digital media app and related creativity resources will be provided at no cost under the programme. Adobe said the initiative aims to equip students with digital creativity and AI skills. The company's move follows growing government focus on integrating technology into school curricula under the National Education Policy.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Adobe's school push comes as the Indian government promotes AI literacy through its National Education Policy 2020, which recommends experiential learning and digital skills from Class VI onward. The company's free tier competes with Canva's education offering, which already has a foothold in Indian schools. What matters next is whether states sign MoUs quickly: Adobe requires state-level agreements to unlock the programme, and education budgets vary widely. Delhi and Tamil Nadu have strong digital infrastructure, Bihar and Assam may need more time. The first state to sign will set the template for rollout, and any delay risks the initiative losing momentum before the next academic year.
