Google will remove the ability to rate and review schools on Google Maps by the end of April, impacting users globally. The tech giant cited off-topic, harmful content, and policy violations as the reason for the change. Existing school ratings and reviews will be deleted from the platform, affecting all general education schools. This decision follows reports of inappropriate comments on school pages, similar to those found on restaurant and hotel listings. The rollout is expected to take several weeks.
