It’s the largest initiative of its kind, designed to help over 74 million students thrive in an AI-infused world.

True, but kindergarten is the German translation of “children’s garden” & likened to a garden where they bloom in discovery and awareness. Thank you Friedrich Frobel.
The T in kindergarten and kindergartners trips up some people. It's not kindergarden, even if it might feel logical that little ones are growing there.
Capitalize the K in pre-K and K-12.
