i am wondering who is going to teach these in schools though? do they have trained teachers in bitcoin field familiar with cryptography and blockchain that could teach them or do they plan on starting to train them?
Probably they have. Because they won't apply it if they are not still ready for it. The possible teachers here are the technology related teachers. It might be not too many to teach every high school students in France but they can also learn. Teachers studies their topic before entering the classroom, so they can also study it first. Here in my country, i really want them to teach blockchain in schools. To give the students an awareness. And I envy that your country already had a plan of doing it.

I understand they will have to train the teachers first on blockchain technology courses and I think the syllabus they will be using will be patterned or similar to the blockchain technology and cryptography courses offered by online education entities such as Coursera or MIT OpenCourseWare or maybe they might get to partner with leading universities that also offer with similar online courses.
Of course, I think before they even implement this course they have already figure things such that. They have trained their teachers and probably applied them to online courses regarding crypto and blockchain technology.
They won't start implementing this to their syllabus if they don't even know to themselves what bitcoin is, it's ridiculous if they do that kind of thing.

According to the cryptocrunch: https://cryptocrunchapp.com/news/bitcoin-officially-included-in-french-high-school-syllabus/

Bitcoin cryptocurrency education will be implemented to French High School Syllabus. It is a new way to introduce money to students.

They are focusing on four Video questions:
1. Can bitcoin be a replacement to Euro?
2. Is bitcoin the currency of the future?
3. Is bitcoin is a currency like others?
4. Do you have to trust your currency?

Regarding this, it would be a good start to educate students about money and trust.

What's your opinion about this? Should cryptocurrency as a whole and blockchain be in schools curriculum?
I think this is a good idea in many ways I already see and experienced seminars about bitcoins and they are really informative. Cryptocurrency could be a subject in a way if you could have a piece of prior knowledge about cryptocurrency you could start something in a scratch and using it you could be more successful in the future also educating student is a good thing because cryptocurrency could be our future when it comes to money. We could only teach this thing to some students who have related courses if the course of the student don't relate to cryptocurrency no need to teach them is kind of stuff.

Finally, bitcoin education will be introduced in high school. I'm impressed with that. Yes, by giving and teaching information about bitcoin, it helps the adoption process in the younger people so they can prepare their future. Those four video questions will be a great time to have a discussion with the student as I am sure that the student will have a big curiosity about the new technology.

But perhaps, we need to see how good the results after that so there will be more bitcoin education in high school in many countries. Once this education success, the other high school will do the same for their student, and that will make more people or young generation will know about bitcoin, and in the end, they will use bitcoin too.

I think it would be better if they will start on basics first.
Like on the blockchain, because Bitcoin uses the technology called blockchain. Because I believe that learning the core of everything before jumping into some complex topics or subject is difficult.
Basic topic like, what is Bitcoin? How Bitcoin works? Or even some basic technical about Bitcoin like how the fees works and how the blocks works or transaction works, etc.
You are right here the elementary aspects and the basic should  first be their priority in teaching the students however I am very sure one of those topics will covers the subject on blockchain else it will be very difficult for them to grasp the whole syllabus above all this is a laudable gesture by the French authorities to introduce the teaching of bitcoin in their high school this will in a long run set the students on the right path towards the idea of adopting bitcoin as a digital currency in the future.

Depending on the point of view of the students, it will be good for them to know so early in the phase of their life. Bitcoin acceptance should increase as time goes on because the old school banking system is ruled by old man's which always contradicts the bitcoin community, the next generation should learn how the monetary system works and how bitcoin effect it.

I think its time also to incorporate it in education. High school is a fresh start to teach teenagers about financial literacy most specifically bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. Millenials are very expose to social media and other digital platforms now. Definitely some have already heard about bitcoin and how they can earn from it. Hopefully they can use it for legal activities at there early age. Somehow its quite scary to teach them early but definitely social media can influence them as well.

Indeed, because it will be difficult for them to understand it if they don't know the basics

Kids, it should be common sense not to listen to a dragon, you should know instinctively to do right.

Listen to this instead for example:

huge adoption news are coming out these days. first with Starbucks and now with France. i think it is safe to expect a huge price rise in the following couple of months similar to mid 2017 when the similar big adoption related news came out about Japan, etc.

i am wondering who is going to teach these in schools though? do they have trained teachers in bitcoin field familiar with cryptography and blockchain that could teach them or do they plan on starting to train them?

Indeed, because it will be difficult for them to understand it if they don't know the basics but its great to see because in a very young age their mind will be open for new things and they will learn a lot of new things that can help them in the future. In that way they can easily analyze how a digital currency works, actually here in my country there is a single subject which is economics where we discuss the meaning of bitcoin and how it works. Its a great way to help them understand that our world isn't only revolving about fiat and because of technology, finally there is a digital currency.

2. Is bitcoin the currency of the future?
3. Is bitcoin is a currency like others?
4. Do you have to trust your currency?

They should not only focus on videos, it will be better if there will be a blockchain enthusiast who can influence them by briefly explaining the ideology, uses and how it will affect the society. It is a good start but soon hopefully a teacher must be able to experience how to use it and adopt it to be able to imply in their life's and let those young minds inspire to develop or trade this currencies for them to have extra income or way of living.

French High School have adopt for bitcoin become they syllabus and teach for every student to know what is cryptocurrency, I think best subject to make bitcoin and altcoin become syllabus in senior high school. They will know whit how many kind currency in the world and which one digital currency can give profit at the future, by adopting blockhain become syllabus in the school give motivate for other country want to legal using bitcoin.

Wow! This is great news, the only way our community and world gets more advanced as time goes on is via our younger generation, if they don't understand code and blockchain technology and all of these new tech things, we'll never move forward.

France has been growing a lot when it comes to crypto adoption, I believe in a recent couple of months a lot of online, and brick and mortar stores have started accepting bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as a payment method.

What's your opinion about this? Should cryptocurrency as a whole and blockchain be in schools curriculum?
It should. It's currently happening and I'm glad to see some private companies partnering with private schools to teach blockchain. If I am not mistaken, this is the first government that added it to their school curriculum.

France is also seeing an increase in crypto adoption with more stores announcing that they will be accepting bitcoin as payment.

~
As long as the material is learnable by the students and the goal is clear enough, then it is okay I think.
According to the article, teachers will be using some videos to make it easier for students to understand. They won't be studying the technical side of bitcoin but it's role in the economy as a currency.

Bitcoin cryptocurrency education will be implemented to French High School Syllabus. It is a new way to introduce money to students.

This I think is the best and the most effective way to introduce blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies! If ever this will be replicated in worldwide academe, integrating it into their curriculum to replace outdated subjects, I think this students  will become more productive and could leapfrog mass adoption on cryptocurrencies and  should create  strong interest and enthusiasm among younger generations.
It's a new way to attack developers, In our are there is a Bank who offers blockchain seminars yearly but limited slots only, those IT or computer engineers really pay, register and participate. Now that it's included in syllabus many will be enlighten about it.

I'm actually not so sure about how good this is, I don't think that high school students should be really taught about crypto-currencies when they are just 16/17.

Could possibly be a good course inside economics though? I could see economic teachers spending 2 weeks or so of lesssons explaining blockchain technology to students.

Who is meant to teach them though? I doubt a lot of the old economic or whatever teachers are really skilled and understand Bitcoin and the technology behind it, it seems like a rushed move from France to be honest.

If this is a verified news, then these might have great impact in the future years to bitcoin. Early awareness to cryptocurrency would make young learners aware of the network and its core framework. However, it will still depend on how the authors of books would describe Bitcoin to students, whether it's biased to one side or neutral (which is better).

This proves that Bitcoin has the potential to be the next currency, or even a great alternative only to fiat. Bitcoin continues to get recognition and a sign that it's growth isn't likely to be suppressed by other government's effort against it.

I do believe that blockchain should be implemented and taught in schools. It's part of technology and globalization, and can also be discussed in economics but I don't think high school students will understand or even find it interesting since they're still quite young. What's better is, rather than high school why not college? Because they're more open, matured to understand, and sooner they'll be entering the field which they can also apply in the future.
This kind of topic should be applied in a general or minor subject for all courses rather than major but only chosen courses. It's also a way to let the youth learn about this development. 'Cause sooner it will also be adopted in the future which they also have to learn.
