Tokyo Metropolitan Board of Education Implements DeepL in High Schools

​​Tokyo -  ​​July 3, 2025 – DeepL, a leading global Language AI company, today announced that the Tokyo Metropolitan Board of Education (TMBoE) has introduced its advanced AI translation and writing tools across a network of Tokyo Metropolitan high schools. The initiative aims to improve English education by enhancing students' language proficiency, while also reviewing and improving the balance of teachers’ workloads and fostering better writing skills. This marks the first large-scale deployment of DeepL's Language AI solutions in Japan's education sector and is a key component of Tokyo's broader strategy to promote AI usage.
