Google Workspace for Education 2021

Introducing Google Workspace for Education

Providing institutions the better choices and flexibility when choosing the tools to enhance teaching and learning experience.

In October 2020, Google announced the rebranding of the office suite, G Suite to Google Workspace. Now, it is the time for the new era of Education products. Google recently introduced Google Workspace for Education!

Google Workspace for Education remains all the products you already use including Classroom, Meet, Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides, and many more. Over 170 million students and educators worldwide rely on our suite of tools. Everything you need to teach, learn, connect and share will remain all in one place, accessible from anywhere on any device.

The free edition G Suite for Education is renamed to Google Workspace for Education Fundamentals. G Suite Enterprise for Education is renamed to Google Workspace for Education Plus. All customers who are already on G Suite Enterprise for Education will automatically receive new features and functionality that are released to the new Google Workspace for Education editions.

Institutions that aim to extend the capabilities of teaching and learning tools, as well as security concerns, can extend Google Workspace Fundamentals with one of the paid versions.
