  • AP signs a June 18 agreement with Canva to provide free Canva for Education access to all public school students, teachers, and education department officials across the state.

  • AP becomes the first Indian state to offer statewide Canva for Education access, aiming to enhance digital learning, visual communication, and design-thinking skills.

  • The rollout will unfold in four phases, with privacy safeguards, role-based permissions, and teacher-controlled AI features to protect student data.

  • Implementation will proceed in four stages: onboarding and account setup, teacher training, classroom adoption, and full-scale deployment with monitoring and impact assessment.

  • This Canva initiative is part of a broader digital education strategy in Andhra Pradesh, which includes LEAP rollout, digital classroom expansion, AI-enabled tools, teacher training, and improved digital infrastructure.

  • SCERT will develop curriculum-aligned template libraries in Telugu and English to support Foundational Literacy and Numeracy goals and simplify digital content creation.

  • The Canva integration is planned with the LEAP app, Google Workspace, and school Chromebooks to create a seamless digital learning environment, subject to technical feasibility.

  • Teachers will be trained through a Training of Trainers model, with a focus on responsible AI use and creating a safe learning environment.

  • State Education Minister Nara Lokesh described the program as empowering every government school student with world-class digital tools and positioning Andhra Pradesh as a knowledge and innovation hub.
