People from diffeerent country still tottaly blind about crypto. Some of them have negative definition of ccrypto. And it's hype spreading out rapidly instead off it's possitivity. So crypto need some step like that as you say.

It will actually be a nice idea and will wish it materialize in most schools if not all. This will make the children or students know what the digital world hold for them. This will really help them to know the basis at the tender age and start on a good note.

Crypto is still struggling with mainstream adoption and acceptance by governments of different countries, until that hurdle is crossed, I don't see the possibility of cryptocurrency being introduced in the curriculum of schools anytime soon.

Hi guys!
I'm pretty sure that many of you have been experiencing difficulty on making other people aware of cryptocurrency and how it works, right? I myself find it hard to explain it even to my own family. Once you mention it to them, the first thing that comes to their mind is that it's a scam. Can't blame them though because the news about crypto scams are always hyped in social media and believe me, even my 70 year old mom has Facebook!

Anyway, I realized that this is the case because there has never really been any formal education about it at all. We knew about it only thru word of the mouth right and we only got to learn it slowly thru experience. This said, I'm thinking, what if it's taught in schools? Perhaps just start with those taking Accountancy or Banking and Finance courses to begin with, then eventually incorporate it to Mathematics subject or whatever in High School? After all, they were able to do that with banking, right? Why not with cryptocurrency? What do you think?
It will be interesting to see if cryptocurrency can be thought in high schools in subjects like Economics or financial related.

If it is, it will not hurt. The young generation should know and develop on new technologies. And virtual currency and all transactions. This is our future. And then you can not argue.
Perhaps a short course of study and cognition of specific information about cryptocurrency should occur in high school, But a deeper study of this material still needs to be carried out in other schools.

Cryptocurrency is becoming an integral part of our life, which means that as many people as possible should know about it from a very early age.

This would be a good decision. But Crypto currency is still forbidden in most of the country. Then what will you do.So i think it has no need in school level.When they will be interested, they will learn about it.

I think that has no need. This should not include in school text book. This is a upper level knowledge. In College level, One chapter in enough what i think about cryptocurrency.

How it can be possible? Cryptocurrency need to add on the academic syllabus or it's teach under the extra curriculum activities?

Yes the time will come in future because the digital currency is booming. A lot of people already use this currency. Hopefully in future it will the main transaction system. So the basic learning should start from school.
Cryptoncurrency education in school is a good idea. It will be helpful for students to make them financially independent and economy stable. In many universities also teach their students about cryptocurrency. In schools we can teach students about cryptocurrency by making special cryptocurrency related videos for them and we can also arrange various cryptocurrency camps for their better interaction. Education about cryptocurrency help then in trading, investing, mining etc.

In my opinion, the idea is not bad, but I would recommend studying in institutions. What would take knowledge more consciously

Why not? I think children need to know that there is a virtual currency. What it has features and amenities. The world is developing, and young people too. They will be interesting and informative.

in a school i think the possible things for now is only an additional like give them a presentation to introduce and give them awareness there will be a next technology that will be a mainstream in the future.
If in a college i think it's a good thing if it will be added to one of courses but on the first time there will be might a lack of information be given. But i'am sure it will be evolved until cryptocurrency or even a blockchain being a proper courses

I think in future there is a possibility that the cryptocurrency will be taught in universities, but I doubt that we will see it in school educational programme.

This is certainly a good idea, but I think society is not yet ready for this and not all States either.

I've heard in some countries there're courses and faculties of blockchain technologies. I guess it's cool! New knowledge and skills must be spread widely cause it's the path to the prosperity of the world community!

It will be taught, but not as much as i think you are expecting it to be.

Teachers will talk about it in passing in classes like math, economics, and of course computer science or engineering. But bottom line is, it doesn't need to be a whole course or anything like that unless you plan to build things with it. People just need to know what it's capabilities and limitations are.

I don't think that's a good thing. in school they should be taught more about morality and character, crypto is a separate place and I think schools are not suitable places for their stages

Why not? The world developed day by day. People are being smart, people want to use more smart way. Blockchain Technology is smartway for transaction. Cryptocurrency can be change the whole world. So I think from school level children needs to get idea about cryptocurrency and smart blocks in system.
