Overseeing the Guided Learning student mode and pilot

Starting early next year, Google accounts issued by K-12 schools will have Gemini, Gemini Notebook, Gemini in Classroom and Google Search switched off unless an administrator turns each one on.

But Search carries AI Overviews and AI Mode that cannot be switched off, so a school that bans AI still gives up student search.
