Samuel Nartey George, the minister of communications, has unveiled a new technological support program that gives Ghanaian students free 12-month access to the Gemini App, along with free artificial intelligence (AI) certification training and 2TB of storage.
Up until December 9, 2025, qualified students can take advantage of the offer, in which was made possible via a collaboration between Google and the Ministry of Communications, Digital Technology, and Innovations. Students who are at least 18 years old can take part for a free 12-month Google AI Pro Plan, which will gives them access to creative tools and advanced learning.
Minister George claims that the intervention is a component of the government’s larger initiative to lessen the financial burden on students and their families while providing cutting-edge digital tools for the next generation of leaders and problem solvers.
The program is a major investment in the development of young people’s digital literacy and technology skills throughout the school sector. Expanded access to Google’s most powerful model, Gemini 2.5 Pro, which can analyse photos, respond to complicated queries, and help with schoolwork and academic writing, is included in the free package. Additionally, students will have access to Deep Research, which gathers data from hundreds of trustworthy sources to provide comprehensive bespoke reports.
NotebookLM, a digital thinking assistant that organises ideas, summarises information, and now offers improved audio and video summaries, is one of the additional capabilities. Additionally, the package gives students access to Google’s latest image generating and editing model, Nano Banana, which enables them to reimagine photos and transform abstract concepts into visually arresting images, as well as Veo 3 for creating videos.
Minister George thanked Google for continuing to work with the Ministry, noting that the partnership goes beyond the One Million Coders Program and the AI Research Lab. He underlined that the partnership will keep growing in order to help more kids nationwide.
The technology offer is part of Google’s larger regional effort to provide basic AI capabilities to African university students. The business recently launched comparable initiatives in Kenya, Nigeria, Rwanda, South Africa, and Zimbabwe, offering its most cutting-edge AI tools to qualified university students in these nations at no cost for a year.
With learning at its core, Google created these resources with the goal of assisting students in solving challenging problems, organising arguments, getting ready for exams, receiving homework assistance, and assessing their comprehension through interactive assessments. Instead of just giving students answers, the company’s Guided Learning mode serves as a learning partner by guiding them with questions and step-by-step assistance.
Minister George invited the public to assist in disseminating the information and urged students throughout Ghana to seize the chance. He emphasised that the program is in line with the government’s dedication to digital innovation and youth development. Through specific internet channels, students can join up for the Gemini Pro Plan.
The offer requires proper enrolment documents or a university email to verify the student’s status using SheerID. When registering, students should use their personal Gmail accounts rather than the ones provided by the school.
The subscription automatically renews after the 12-month free period unless it is cancelled before the trial period expires. Students can terminate their memberships at any time to avoid fees, and Google will send reminder messages within a month of the deal period ending.
In addition, the Ministry of Communications and Google have collaborated on a number of other digital projects, such as the creation of an AI Research Lab and the One Million Coders Program, which intends to teach one million young Ghanaians software development and coding skills over a number of years.
This most recent statement highlights the government’s emphasis on utilising alliances with international tech firms to increase Ghanaian youth’s access to state-of-the-art digital tools and training.
Conclusion
The program is anticipated to improve students’ AI literacy while preparing them for the needs of the workforce in a global economy that is becoming more and more reliant on technology. The offer will no longer be accessible after December 9, 2025, which is still the deadline for redemption. To guarantee their free 12-month access to Google’s cutting-edge AI learning resources, eligible students are urged to register before the deadline.Read more on Africa Builds a Unified Foundation for AI and Quantum Computing.
