Topic: Cryptocurrency must adapt in schools/colleges curriculum - page 3. (Read 569 times)
I don't think that teaching cryptocurrency as its own subject is a good idea, not because in it self its is bad but because it kind limits the use of the blockchain technology to the financial and currency use of it, i feel like blockchain technology is the future and teaching its concepts and its advantages can create a new vision to how people view and do things in the future in many sectors, blockchain could be used for smart contracts and other things, and cryptocurrency is just an example and for us to take advantage of it we have to look to expand beyond that and create new ways to use it and by teaching young people about it will help do that.
schools/colleges struggle to actually go into convincing detail about the fiat economy.
highschool level does not go into detail about credit cards. does not tell students that credit cards should only be used for emergency expense.
even now people have thought credit cards are to get "free money" where they can go on spending spree's and worry about repayment later.
many students dont even know that money is not backed by gold/silver anymore
many students dont know that the national debt is not actually the citizens getting themselves in debt but the government borrowing without consent and then leaving citizens to be taxed later on at higher rates to repay government mistakes
..
so if you are thinking schools/college will go into the fine details of crypto economics.. you are wrong. if anything it will just be an IT side project much like learning about blockchain database formats like students learn about using microsoft access macro's

Of course, teaching Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in schools and universities will be of great benefit to society in general, it will help young students to understand cryptocurrencies in a correct way and will also teach them the correct investment methods and avoid the methods followed by scammers and other wonderful things, but this will never happen unless Global adoption of bitcoin by governments, if governments do not officially adopt bitcoin and cryptocurrencies there cannot be any kind of education in universities and institutes for students about these things, on the contrary, they will instill in their mind fear of cryptocurrencies and hear them a lot of bad things about it like it is They carry a high risk, are highly volatile and are used for money laundering.
Maybe the schools or the college teaching the technology behind cryptocurrency which is the blockchain instead of teaching them about the cryptocurrency.
So no matter if the government are not doing an adoption with cryptocurrency, the blockhcain system is already taught at the class so the future generation maybe could create a new system that can compete cryptocurrency with more efficient and safer security than cryptocurrency right now.
It's too early to say school adding Bitcoin or cryptocurrency to the curriculum but maybe they will just insert bits it on economics class. It's only in college that I learn investing and that HODL term was not among that was taught
but most probably in computer-related classes, there will be blockchain programming which may include the languages like Solidarity. If adoption really will spread which in every transaction locally is done through crypto, ED will make it mandatory for each to learn how blockchain works even for grade school.
Knowing about new technology is important. Crypto currencies and blockchain technology are the future so it's inevitable. Is good to see as school or college curriculum.In my instinct before 5'th grade we can teach them good financial habits then after we can enter into financial literacy or real economics classes

Apart from this we should provide a seperate course too like diploma or something that's also indispensable because is the areas have the wide scope and huge employment opportunities.
if we put it as course then Diploma will be delivered after they graduated so there is no need for different.

Let's start with something as simple as the fact that the curricula must be reformed at all academic levels, at least in the basic stages of learning and even the physical structure itself must be rearranged.
Programming languages, e.g. must be part of the training of individuals from the early stages of learning or, let's say, there must be a structured starting point. That is it are just an example to raise the level of learning in terms of new technologies.
The above leads us on the way to know not only Bitcoin but other important emerging technologies, that is, it is not something as punctual as only Bitcoin, but in any case, it is quite complex to deal with such a structured topic in a few words.
And in the priority objective of teaching bitcoin today or guiding young people, it is enough to mention it in a classroom, that in the simplicity of the execution is revolutionary.
Economics is part of the curriculum. Are there many people who want to enter as an economist or are interested to be involved in that subject?
Crypto is a currency, the same as fiat. Why it should have a main curriculum? What's the benefit? Are all people can afford to use it freely? No need to have a subject about cryptocurrency. If people are interested, they will seek the information by themselves.
There are lots of people already in the world that know how potential crypto is but why are some of them still not attracted to get involved? It's because people have their own view about that. No need to force other people to join crypto to the point that it will be placed as a subject at schools or universities.

The more people get educated about crypto, the faster adoption we are able to see.
Young minds are more aggressive when it comes to new learning and since they are more exposed to the internet and know more about gadgets, that was easier for them to understand.
I agree with you. If there will be more people learning crypto and they finally know well about crypto, the society will be easier to accept crypto because they are not influenced by bad issues anymore. Having good knowledge about crypto will be very helpful to fight with many bad people spreading FUDs about it. Yep, young people, especially college students, have a high curiosity. They must be interested to learn crypto as a whole. Young minds are more aggressive when it comes to new learning and since they are more exposed to the internet and know more about gadgets, that was easier for them to understand.
A must?
Well, it may be interesting, but not all countries are ready for this.
I can agree if some certain subjects in the schools introduce cryptocurrency, but not for a specific certain curriculu.
It is only part of the materials so that students will at least know about cryptocurrency.
If we are willing to have a certain curriculum for cryptocurrency, it may be not suitable for any gardes. It may be suitable enough for certain colleges or lectures so that they will specifically learn about crypto and blockchain technology.

Its already been a while where certain schools had included out crypto/blockchain into their curriculum.

Its great to see such add up and recognition which would really even haste up the level of awareness or adoption.
This really has a huge impact. The more people get educated about crypto, the faster adoption we are able to see. https://www.coinspeaker.com/universities-blockchain-courses/

One year learning about crypto, I think it was good enough and that was enough for them to educate and teach their family members as well. Maybe we have to wait and see how much it is contributed to the adoption a few years from now as this couldn't have instant results.

I don't know if this topic is already tackled but I want to know your random opinions
I ever read a similar topic previously but I think it is no problem to have this thread because the previous one seems no longer an active thread. What happens if Bitcoins will be adapt in schools especially in college level?
For college-level, learning Bitcoin is an appropriate topic. There are already some colleges having Bitcoin as the material in lectures. So far, there is no bad issue about Bitcoin as the material in lectures. Instead, more college students want to learn about Bitcoin because they know many people can be rich by investing in Bitcoin.

Well, if these things happen, then it will be great. Though recently I saw on a Bangladeshi university called Rajshahi University's honours first year admission test exam a MCQ about bitcoin. So we can say now people are interested. Then we should make a subject so that all the students know about it. If we didn't educate our students about any technology, then our citizens wouldn't be able to compete with other countries' students and people either. I think bitcoin or blockchain technology is already a topic for cybersecurity students. So if this blockchain technology topic was added at school level, then students could get more knowledge before finishing school too. For me it will be great.
As an example, I'm teaching my 7th grade younger brother about social media marketing and its role in bitcoin and new cryptocurrency projects.
It's great that you're making your younger brother aware of that and its definitely an edge towards others who are until now, still naive to crypto.As an example, I'm teaching my 7th grade younger brother about social media marketing and its role in bitcoin and new cryptocurrency projects.
However, the only way that crypto will be taught in schools will only depend on the government itself if they give permission on it. Because probably schools won't be making their own decisions, whatever their teachings should still abide with the laws made by the government. Although its a great start for students at an early age will already be aware about the existence of crypto and how it works, but it won't be possible without the support from the government. And i think the best way to lessen scamming cases is to make everyone educated about crypto because when it happens, people will be responsible to manage their own finances as well as on their crypto accounts.
Actually, the courses related to crypto are already available in some universities around the globe.
There's even a thread here discussing about all those schools and universities having crypto-related courses.
But will just give an idea as I can't find that thread here, will just post link from coindesk, those universities who have blockchain-related courses
https://www.coindesk.com/learn/2021/10/04/the-top-universities-for-blockchain-by-coindesk-2021/
If you can see, the list is already long and I believe, it will have more schools in the coming days.
So we are already adapting crypto-related courses in some universities, and we are expecting it to grow stronger in the coming years.

That's a good idea, it's possible that it could happen at a school or university that is already accepting crypto. we know that crypto is currently growing rapidly and many developed countries have accepted it. if that happens of course it will be good where children will start learning to manage crypto assets well because it is not easy to learn to manage crypto to be safer and profitable. but I think it will only happen to countries that have accepted crypto and crypto is growing rapidly there.

There are cryptocurrency academy that I have come across. Since government are in charge in studying aprroving curriculum (course) and is not legalized it will be some how hard to adopt cryptocurrency schools(college). Adopting cryptocurrency into school system will work smoothly in countries that cryptocurrency is well legalized.
I like the idea since most of the lessons, subjects, and modules are very limited to what we've been using. It's like a continuous cycle for the same topics with very little new knowledge in addition. Most of the professionals in the blockchain/cryptocurrency were self-taught, of course with the help of the community. I believe in the power of community and it should be great if these schools will recognize that.
Honestly, I think it's too early to do this. At least, often children are simply not yet ready to perceive such information and can simply spend money.
It's not about children but those teens to young adults but there's no exception if it's about knowledge about crypto and blockchain. Jump to:
