It is good idea if schools and universities will have subject about cryptocurrencies. It will help the students to become aware to what is virtual cryptocurrency and what its importance, function and benefits in our economy.

wow this is a great news with this the young will know many about crypto-currency and will also help the government to know that crypto-currency is not but real.

I think is the best curriculum any school can introduce to its students in early stages like these. I just finished writing a research paper on how a computing power can be used to contribute to PROOF OF RESEARCH. through the use of gridcoin, a cryptocurrency. And I was shocked academics have been mining cryptocurrencies since long time to contribute computing power to research and rewarded with cryptocurrency in exchange. High school students will greatly benefits from cryptocurrencies.

If educating on electronic money I think no one would dare to teach this knowledge. The Crypto market is constantly changing. I find it inappropriate to put electronic money into college education.

[mulyadi dedii]

this is one of the most interesting subjects to apply in high school. with knowledge of cryptocurrencies, these learners may become new creators of cryptocurrency in the future with various improvements.
But it applies to countries that have legalized the circulation of cryptocurrencies.

Wow.. that's a good thing, schools in the world should follow that immediately, so it will be more and more people are aware and understand about cryptocurrency.
And realize that we are being enslaved by fiat currency.

I've heard there are a lot of education courses teaching you everything you need to know about cryptocurrency from the very basic to the highly advanced. But I prefer more technology courses - blockchain, BD

I find it inappropriate to put electronic money into college education.

But giving some basic knowledge would be kinda useful.

[Lataman]

Well , I think it ia good to know that cryptocurrency are introduce at teach to high school as they will be more open in the new technology and the role of being good in financial analysis, so they can learn how to handle there own money and invest in good business...

This is a very promising innovation! For students this is a great advantage over other peers who don't have knowledge on such an important topic as the cryptocurrency. Schools teach a lot, but mostly things that are not useful in later life, outside the school. And this subject is a brilliant decision in the field of education!

Generation today or teenagers today are quite techy or  advanced in terms of technologies and for me if a student can understand about the topics in government, politics, business and even technology for sure they can already understand bitcoin but of course explain it in the very simple way they can understand it and in every level the deeper the knowledge they should give about bitcoin.

[dongyi17]

We all know how smart, intelligent and skillful youth now a days they are more knowledgeable than adult was, and so learning cryptocurrency maybe too young for them to fully understand but we cannot under estimated their ability in terms of technologies they can be learn or taught about bitcoin provided it will be in good motivation, intention and purpose that their skill and all that will be directed into good one so that they can be more useful and productive and responsible citizen of our country.

[jerowacik]

Huge interest in cryptocurrencies like bitcoin in the mainstream has compelled one high school in Australia to reportedly host an information night on cryptocurrencies)

[arguelles84]

In Belarus, following the legalization of the Crypto-currency and ICO in the country, another significant step has been taken: for the first time in the world it is proposed to obtain a crypto-currency education. Belarusian National Technical University offers courses on the basis of higher education - "Crypto-currencies and derivatives".

this sounds good, at least will continue to grow in the future, so they will also tell their families at least a small part will do it let them study the krtipto currency so it can continue to grow widespread

[oceantiger]

This is what i call  proactive. Kudos to the administration of  those schools for preparing their student for the future. Bitcoin and altcoins will soon be the medium for business transaction world wide.

[Froloff92]

This may be early for school students, but on the other hand, why not educate them in terms of new technologies, it will be useful for them, even if they do not communicate with cryptocurrency.

[ViceOfBTC21]

I still think it's too early for high school students to study cryptocurrency，because they don't know what it is, I think the best time to do it is in college, so they can understand the knowledge of blockchain and the operation of bitcoin, which will help them in the future.

This may be early for school students, but on the other hand, why not educate them in terms of new technologies, it will be useful for them, even if they do not communicate with cryptocurrency.

It isn't too early and probably most of them they already know what cryptocurrency is. I already understood it at the age of 10 years old, but I started to use it 2 years later.

[Bitexpert2017]

It's good to know that topics about cryptocurrencies are being taught in high school now. This will prepare them in case they want to invest in the future.

I'm a big fan of crypto currency education, and would love to see it offered at my kids' school when they are older.
It's almost a matter of certainty that generations after us will be using crypto and they will need to be educated somewhere and somehow, so why not offer in in educational institutions?
Future jobs are going to rely on blockchain technology so the earlier we educate our future leaders, I think the better.
