KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 13 — More than 90% of educators at Universiti Geomatika Malaysia (UGM) have achieved Google’s Gemini Educator Certification through a university-wide upskilling initiative, the institution announced on Thursday.
The certification drive, led by UGM’s Hal Ehwal Akademik, TVET & Industri (HEATI) and the Faculty of AI & Meta Technology (FAMET), involved a series of training sessions focused on integrating Google’s Gemini AI tools into higher education teaching and learning. The program aimed to enhance educators’ digital competencies and support the university’s broader push toward AI-driven innovation in academia.
According to UGM, 88.10% of participants earned the Google Certified Educator Level 1 credential, while 66.67% achieved Level 2 certification. Notably, 64.29% of educators passed all three required exams, securing triple certification—a milestone reflecting strong digital proficiency across the faculty.
UGM said the initiative underscores its commitment to advancing AI literacy among educators, enabling the creation of more dynamic and effective learning content in line with Malaysia’s digital transformation agenda.
Details not yet available on the total number of educators involved or the timeline for future certification programs.
The university added that as AI reshapes global education, UGM will continue investing in upskilling initiatives to ensure its teaching staff remain at the forefront of technological adoption.
