New Delhi [India], September 14 (ANI): Artificial Intelligence leader OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, has partnered with the Association for Reinventing School Education (ARISE) to bring advanced AI tools and training to K-12 educators across India.
ARISE, a body focused on private school reform in collaboration with FICCI, hosted a Masterclass on “Empowering School Education Through AI” as part of its 8th Annual Education Conference in New Delhi. The Masterclass, conducted by OpenAI, showcased practical demonstrations of how AI can aid teachers in lesson planning, enhance student engagement, and personalize learning experiences. The session emphasized AI’s role as a supportive tool for educators, rather than a replacement, reinforcing the teacher-learner relationship.
The collaboration aims to provide structured training, awareness programs, and practical guidance to ARISE member schools. By equipping educators with skills to integrate AI responsibly, the initiative seeks to make schools future-ready while prioritizing pedagogy, ethics, and India’s diverse educational needs.
Praveen Raju, President of the ARISE Governing Board and Co-Founder of Suchitra Academy, said, “School education in India is on the cusp of a major transformation, and OpenAI is already playing a pivotal role in that journey. Its tools are among the most widely adopted by students and educators, making complex concepts more accessible and classrooms more engaging. The Masterclass highlighted this impact and reaffirmed our guiding principle of ‘Student First.'”
Raghav Gupta, Head of Education, India & Asia Pacific, OpenAI, stated, “Our collaboration with ARISE allows OpenAI to engage deeply with India’s K-12 ecosystem, benefitting from ARISE’s strong school network and policy alignment. We are committed to ensuring AI adds real value for teachers and students, and this Masterclass was an important step in that journey.”
Vinesh Menon, Director General & CEO, ARISE, added, “The Masterclass was a resounding success, underlining how our collaboration with OpenAI aligns with ARISE’s mission to be a corridor for innovation in education. The session focused on the practical integration of AI into classrooms, and what stood out was OpenAI’s ability to combine global technology leadership with a readiness to listen, adapt, and customize solutions for India’s unique pedagogical needs. This makes them not just a technology provider, but a true partner for schools.”
ARISE stated that the collaboration reflects a shared commitment to strengthening India’s school education ecosystem by equipping teachers and schools with tools to adapt to emerging technologies. Through initiatives like the Masterclass, ARISE and OpenAI aim to ensure innovation is introduced thoughtfully, keeping pedagogy and students at the center of the learning process. (ANI)
