Microsoft said on August 27, 2026 that it would give one million Philippine public-school teachers access to Copilot through its renewed partnership with the Department of Education. The tools are intended to support lesson preparation, assessments and administrative work.
The commitment follows an AI training programme launched earlier in the year. Microsoft reported nearly 75,000 live attendees at its main training event and more than 175,000 registrations. The department’s National Educators’ Academy of the Philippines subsequently extended learning through asynchronous sessions for registered participants.
The partnership also includes Reading Progress and Reading Coach for literacy support. The one-million figure describes planned access to Copilot; the announcement does not establish that all those teachers had begun using it.
