Trump’s administration continues to strengthen its nationwide AI education initiative as Meta announces a $20 million commitment to support students and educators across the United States. According to the official White House website, Meta is partnering with Pearson to bring a tailored suite of AI tools to teachers in school districts serving military communities, ensuring that educators have access to cutting-edge resources that enhance classroom learning and reduce administrative burdens.

Pearson will also provide direct training to 250,000 educators, preparing them to confidently apply AI in practical and innovative ways across elementary and secondary schools.

Beyond this focused effort, Meta is committed to advancing STEAM education nationwide, providing funding to schools, registered nonprofits, and community organizations located near its 24 U.S. data centers.
