The decentralized element of blockchain is opening many doors for a variety of individuals and industries, from secure p2p transactions to game assets that are utilized on multiple platforms.
The one industry that may require the most effort, aside from government-regulated industries like banking, is the decentralization of education. The concept can be developed by a variety of vetted users, knowledge can be verified through blockchain credentials, and information can be obtained by the masses at a fragment of the cost of traditional schooling methods.
Since this is a new concept we, as an organization, were wondering your thoughts on the matter.
What are the concerns of the students, educators, and community members that rely on education as a source of knowledge and credentials?
What is there to decentralize on education? As far as sources of knowledge is concerned, I guess that comes from the lectures of the teachers as well as the books that they are using. If there is something that should be recorded on the blockchain pertaining to education, it is the school data such as grades and professors or teachers objective assessment on their students.
Education budget and its specific expenditures could also be integrated to the blockchain. But this is more on the financial aspect and not strictly on the education matter.
