Blockchain Basic education for any Citizen

[MonsterV]

I think that Governments of developed Nations MUST add a blockchain course to the basic education of any Citizen... starting from elementary schools, and why not, with some basics concept also in nursery.

I don't think it's necessary because everyone's interests are different, Blockchain in my opinion is more suitable for the IT field. It is better for the government to do mass support in the news media so that people are more familiar with technology, so not through basic education because this is too much. Basic education courses are more suitable for those who want to explore IT technology, even the average must be a prospective programmer.

Blockchain technology is an important study for the future and its global citizens so it should be a course offered at all post secondary school curriculum.
I think a university in india is offering a course just like this for their new semester.

i don't think that is really needed because just like any other technology the masses don't need to learn how it works and what education specially in basic form in schools will teach them is how it works. what people need to learn is how to use the technology and just like any other technologies out there they don't really need that much education to learn that since it is pretty easy.

People will for the most grow up to become users of technology, not developers. Blockchain is an underlying technology for some specific user case applications, and just as people at school do not have courses on the underlying technology behind an app, a site, or a social network, they won’t have them on blockchain. 

People do become familiar with those technologies (apps, sites, social networks) from a user’s point of view, and under that prism they either learn on their own by using them in a self-exploratory manner, or they have a specific general purpose subject on IT that introduces them to these technologies from a user’s point of view. Whether there is blockchain, a database of any topology, or whatever behind, becomes transparent from the vast majority of user’s point of view, and there is no real need to focus on the underlying technology unless one reaches a certain age where that becomes a potential interest in terms of studies leading to a professional and personal choice.

I think it would depend on the career that the citizen will take. Blockchain is science. Blockchain is considered to be one of the top technology nowadays and it is #2 in most of the list. Probably normal citizens need a basic education or orientation on what blockchain is but it doesn't need to be a deep understanding. But if we are talking about science students, I think it will be useful for them.

[poodle63]

My opinion is that Blockchain basics is good to be known for people but that better start around middle high school where students already have some kind of common sense when it comes to financial things.
However once the blockchain technology settled to many of sectors, I don't think the understanding of blockchain for most of people is really important, I think they will now by the time being.

I don't think the addition of blockchain technology should be added to any curriculum it should be optional and there are enough places to get the knowledge if one is really interested in it. The internet has provided us alot of opportunity to learn things and also there are books already that can guide anyone through

[diazepam666]

First let's we people give hope to the countries who doesn't care the basic education.
If they give such education then those people will get common knowledge to understand blockchain technology or anything.one more thing if you want to educate the people who doesn't cross the elementary level education. What is not possible for those people.

bitcoin price will go up  **

ask pro math teacher how much one btc can be and see the number for yourself people here will not believe me i will p0st it,

but watch bitcoin 

[Payme21]

I agree with you but I think it should go beyond the developed countries and extend to the developing nations as blockchain is here to stay

[bitcoindusts]

I agree with your idea but I think a subject to be added to the whole curriculum in high school maybe. Nursery and elementary are just focusing on basic knowledge and blockchain would to deep for them when all they need to know are just the basic foundations. But really a good idea since blockchain will be the future so it is a must that everyone knows how it is used and how it works..

The study of blockchain technology has already been introduced in some schools and institutes. I think that anyone can easily study it, if he wants. But it makes no sense to study this technology for those who are not interested.

[mayukus4life]

Making the study of blockchain technology compulsory for all citizens of developed nations will be too harsh. The importance of blockchain technology can be emphasized without forcing it on people. I think from college should be okay introducing course that will cover it.

[Hemady17]

This is a good idea. Imparting blockchain in education is a good opportunity for people. I just hope that it will not just end for simply educating us but also it will be better if this will be implemented  as a part of the society. So that all of us can also use it for good.

What's there to make such an advancement on learning. Children on its elementary school need to learn more about the good and the bad. Further they'll understand the reality of life and can decide what need to be learned further to survive in this world. It's not wrong to include about the history or the existence about virtual currency, but I feel there isn't any need for the addition of the blockchain learning.

[Fred3030]

With the pace at which blockchain is being adopted in recent times, especially by big establishment is an indication that blockchain in a very near future will be integrated into every sector of our existence. Hence the need to start having blockchain courses introduced in our places of higher learning.

I will agree for college but from nursery to elementary? I would let my son and daughter (if I have) play on any games they like online or outdoors than having these fields on their early ages.

BTW, here in philippines have blockchain elective courses already but only on college levels just started last month.

Blockchain and related technologies are the Future. Libra is just another confirmation for that theory (if needed), but for sure the biggest one we have ever seen in these days.

A young brain in it's primordial state is the base for any further development. Plus everyone should have this education, like an essential human right.

What do you think?

Blockchain is a highly specialized industry that everyone simply does not need.I believe that the hammer head of this technology in school is pointless.There are many other items that will really be interesting to children.

Blockhcain become good solution for some citizen where they can earn passive or source income by investing with bitcoin or altcoin, but there are still many country still not allowed for using blockchain bitcoin and altcoin.
