The pilot program included Colegio Olinca in Mexico City, International School of Ho Chi Minh City (ISHCMC), The Royal Grammar School Guildford Dubai, Southbank International School in London, ISHCMC American Academy (AAVN), and The British School of Barcelona. Results showed significantly improved student learning outcomes across multiple areas from mathematics to languages and college essay feedback.
Flint enables Cognita teachers to generate custom, interactive activities, deliver differentiated learning materials, and provide instant formative feedback. Students can also use Flint to get additional practice problems, brainstorm ideas, and develop AI literacy with proper guardrails.
Dr. Simon Camby, Group Chief Education Officer at Cognita, commented: “Our approach is to take a considered view about the most effective and impactful ways to integrate AI into our classrooms in order to ensure that it truly benefits our teachers and students. After a thorough selection process, we chose to work with Flint because of its flexibility and ability to align with how our schools teach and operate, while also delivering the personalized learning experience we want for every student. I am thrilled that the pilot has been such a success, and we are excited to continue working together in a way that will bring the best of AI to our educators and students around the world.”
“We couldn’t be more excited to be partnering with Cognita,” said Sohan Choudhury, CEO of Flint. “Through our first partnership with a Cognita school during the 2023-24 school year and the pilot earlier in 2025, we’ve had the opportunity to work closely with educators at a number of Cognita schools. We’ve been amazed by their commitment to personalizing learning for students, as well as by the focus from Cognita’s leadership on embracing AI in a way that enhances, not replaces, the teacher’s role in the classroom.”
Onboarding will include custom professional learning sessions for faculty, student-facing AI literacy programming, and family engagement resources to ensure transparent implementation aligned with community values. The partnership positions both organizations at the forefront of ethical, effective AI use in education.

BERLIN (AP) — U.S. envoys were set to arrive in Berlin on Sunday for another round of talks intended to secure a deal to end the war.
U.S. President Donald Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff and Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner were expected to land in Berlin to take part in a series of meetings on Sunday and Monday.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that Ukrainian, U.S. and European officials will hold a series of meetings in Berlin in the coming days.
“Most importantly, I will be meeting with envoys of President Trump, and there will also be meetings with our European partners, with many leaders, concerning the foundation of peace — a political agreement to end the war,” Zelenskyy said in an address to the nation late Saturday.
Washington has tried for months to navigate the demands of each side as Trump presses for a swift end to Russia’s war and grows increasingly exasperated by delays. The search for possible compromises has run into major obstacles, including control of Ukraine’s eastern Donetsk region, which is mostly occupied by Russian forces, and security guarantees for Ukraine.
“The chance is considerable at this moment, and it matters for our every city, for our every Ukrainian community,” Zelenskyy said. “We are working to ensure that peace for Ukraine is dignified, and to secure a guarantee — a guarantee, above all — that Russia will not return to Ukraine for a third invasion.”
Russian President Vladimir Putin has demanded that Ukraine withdraw its forces from the part of the Donetsk region still under its control and abandon its bid to join NATO among the key conditions for peace — demands Kyiv has rejected.
Putin's foreign affairs adviser Yuri Ushakov told the business daily Kommersant that Russian police and national guard troops would stay in parts of eastern Ukraine’s Donbas even if they become a demilitarized zone under a prospective peace plan — a demand likely to be rejected by Ukraine as U.S.-led negotiations drag on.
Ushakov warned that a search for compromise could take a long time, noting that the U.S. proposals that took into account Russian demands had been “worsened” by alterations proposed by Ukraine and its European allies.
“We don’t know what changes they are making, but clearly they aren’t for the better,” Ushakov said, adding: “We will strongly insist on our considerations.”
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, who has spearheaded European efforts to support Ukraine alongside French President Emmanuel Macron and U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer, said Saturday that “the decades of the ‘Pax Americana’ are largely over for us in Europe and for us in Germany as well.”
He warned that Putin's aim is “a fundamental change to the borders in Europe, the restoration of the old Soviet Union within its borders.” “If Ukraine falls, he won’t stop,” Merz warned on Saturday during a party conference in Munich.
Putin has denied plans to restore the Soviet Union or attack any European allies.
As peace efforts continued, Russia and Ukraine exchanged another round of aerial attacks.
Ukraine’s air force said overnight Russia launched ballistic missiles and 138 attack drones at Ukraine. In its daily report, the air force said 110 had been intercepted or downed but missile and drone hits were recorded at six locations.
Zelenskyy said Sunday that hundreds of thousands of families were still without power in the south, east and north-east regions and work was continuing to restore electricity, heat and water to multiple regions following a large-scale attack the previous night.
The Ukrainian president said that in the past week, Russia had launched over 1,500 strike drones, nearly 900 guided aerial bombs and 46 missiles of various types at Ukraine.
“Ukraine needs peace on decent terms, and we are ready to work as constructively as possible. These days will be filled with diplomacy. It’s very important that it brings results,” Zelenskyy said.
Russia’s Defense Ministry said that air defenses downed 235 Ukrainian drones late Saturday and early Sunday.
In the Belgorod region, a drone injured a man and set his house ablaze in the village of Yasnye Zori, regional governor Vyacheslav Gladkov said.
Ukrainian drones struck an oil depot in Uryupinsk in the Volgograd region, triggering a fire, according to the regional governor, Andrei Bocharov.
In the Krasnodar region, the Ukrainian drones attacked the town of Afipsky, where an oil refinery is located. The authorities said that explosions shattered windows in residential buildings but didn’t report any damage to the refinery.
