Bitcoin in High School Syllabus

[kissme09]

The world has noted the existence and development of blockchain. The younger generation needs to be carefully educated about this new technology. Certainly in the future we will widely apply Blockchain technology to life. Therefore, blockchain teaching is a necessity. At the moment, I only see blockchain teaching program only appearing in some big countries such as Australia, USA, Netherlands and only a certain number of schools.

I am sure cryptocurrency wont be the only thing teaching in high schools. IoT, Quantum computing, are few other things world is taking seriously. When these kids will grow up there grip on emerging technologies will be very tight, which will be beneficial for the country.

I agree that this will not be the only science of the future. And this is a natural way of developing educational universities. It seems to me that in the long run and at Essay Review Expert it will be possible to find reviews not just the best paper writing services, but rather coding services and other technologies. Already starting to feel a little sympathy for future students because of the amount of information.

Yes Bitcoin in High School Syllabus because this is not personal opinion. Its a brought syllabus in cryprto market. This is the cryptocurrency Bitcoin, students will gain an understanding of the commercial, technical and public policy fundamentals of blockchain technology, distributed ledgers and smart contracts in both open sourced and private applications in market. we have a lot of process in syllabus.

I'd opt for it more on college instead of HS. As far as my hs days was concerned, it was time for me to know others build relationships and well, identify what I actually want to be in the future. It's more concentrated on building relationships and the like. College on the other hand, is mostly me trying to learn new stuff and educating myself about different things. Tbh, I wish I honestly learned in college what are the stuff needed when going to adulthoood. Like how to get various documents, proper procedures on each one etc, etc.

As for the questions though, Isn't it too early to teach them about such things? I'm actually more to them learning what crypto is, the system behind it, history, etc etc. Basically, facts. These questions are currenty more on the subjective side imo.

I guess bitcoin in high school syllabus is not very essential 'cause there are many handy technology tools that we should focus more on. Basic software is those we should learn in high school, bitcoin is a different level and the technology is very complex.

And bitcoin is not necessary to be learned as not all of the people will be gonna use of it. The education system don't find it as a practical knowledge that will help those kids on their life.

Instead of bitcoin, it's better to learn blockchain first and it should be in the course outline in college especially when your course is somehow related to technology.

This is a big no for me. It is not that I am against bitcoin and the blockchain technology in the curriculum, but we should consider the course, and the student himself. Another thing is that there are a lot of sources where students can learn about bitcoin, from videos to books and articles, they could learn a lot of it. Also, here in our province, finding a teacher would be hard to teach that subject, it is also not suitable in our environment and with the lack of materials, it would be hard to teach it. Though currencies and also taxations are taught in our school so in terms of bitcoin might replace fiats, I guess our students can answer that.

Agree, I've known that teaching about bitcoin is very difficult, the process and the one who will teach it. Even in seminars, it's hard to find someone that will serve as a speaker and will teach those complex knowledge. There are many necessary things or technology than bitcoin that can be used in our daily life basis. Bitcoin knowledge is on a different level and requires a lot of understanding especially when you go to the topic of programming to understand the core.

If we're talking about blockchain and such, those are complex and that's not appropriate to be on the curriculum of high school. But in college and the course is somehow related to technology; Electronics Engineering, Computer Science, Information Technology and Computer Engineering, it's a good idea.

My classmates have already implemented blockchain on their thesis/project study and the only foundation they used on creating it are just basic programming and YT tutorials. It's a reliable knowledge if it's been taught before the start of a project study course subject.

If the sole curriculum will be based on bitcoin itself, as a currency, I agree with you. but if we are to dig deeper to tackle things such as blockchain, peer to peer connection, hashes and building more out of cryptocurrency, then there is a need to include it in the curriculum, but still depends on the course that should be taken by a student.

It is advisable to align it with Information Technology, or other Computer Science related courses.

Very Good News!!! This is another step ahead for Bitcoin revolution in the world. The first time a school has included "Bitcoin" in its Syllabus because the authority has realized the necessity of study of it. This step will encourage many other schools to introduce it in their Syllabus also. Already different universities have introduced it as a subject. I hope, gradually all the students of schools, colleges and universities will study various cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Etheream etc. Thus all the people will realize the importance of cryptocurrency as medium of digital transaction in near future when cryptocurrency will capture the World's market and all the countries will receive it legally.

According to the cryptocrunch: https://cryptocrunchapp.com/news/bitcoin-officially-included-in-french-high-school-syllabus/

Bitcoin cryptocurrency education will be implemented to French High School Syllabus. It is a new way to introduce money to students.

They are focusing on four Video questions:
1. Can bitcoin be a replacement to Euro?
2. Is bitcoin the currency of the future?
3. Is bitcoin is a currency like others?
4. Do you have to trust your currency?

Regarding this, it would be a good start to educate students about money and trust.

What's your opinion about this? Should cryptocurrency as a whole and blockchain be in schools curriculum?

French High School authority has taken this epoch making event and i have read also few schools taken this steps. I congratulate them for taking this brave decision. Students can learn about blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies.
I believe Bitcoin is the future money but it can't be replaced with any local currency like USD, EURO, RUPY, TAKA etc. Bitcoin will be used and local currencies will be available for supplementary.

This is a milestone for the crypto world, knowing that little by little the people are giving the acknowledgement it deserves. This will raise awareness of how useful the Bitcoin can potentially give. Including Bitcoin education in the syllabus will also help the community to grow. This only means that the future of bitcoin is bright. When more and more people become well educated about the cryptocurrency, the development and its growth will surely be tangible.

I think this will a great idea to give some more knowledge to the people of world about bitcoin use, its features.in high school syllabus it should teaches. There are so many world traders who has become millionaire with this bitcoin and if you do not teach our children then it will be unfair so I really say we should give more knowledge about bitcoin to others.
So let sit and enjoy the game of bitcoin.

[Latviand]

I'm actually not so sure about how good this is, I don't think that high school students should be really taught about crypto-currencies when they are just 16/17.

Could possibly be a good course inside economics though? I could see economic teachers spending 2 weeks or so of lesssons explaining blockchain technology to students.

Who is meant to teach them though? I doubt a lot of the old economic or whatever teachers are really skilled and understand Bitcoin and the technology behind it, it seems like a rushed move from France to be honest.

Most students in high school are teens and under 18 yrs old, I think that they will become familiarize with the bitcoin if they implement bitcoin in high school syllabus, but the thing here is that their mind is not that mature enough when it comes to that. They will probably have a hard time understanding it and make a decision as they are too young for that.

Maybe fundamentals are good enough to help them understand and analyze how bitcoin works in the economy and how money talks when it comes to the society. We have different opinions and I think that I'm just practical and realistic as students are more on online games and social media, not in investment in crypto.

Maybe they should learn about bitcoin when they are already 18, when they are independent and have work so that they invest with their own money. They should use their own money when they want to engage with using bitcoin for investment and not relying on the money of their parents.

I think it would be better if they will start on basics first.
Like on the blockchain, because Bitcoin uses the technology called blockchain. Because I believe that learning the core of everything before jumping into some complex topics or subject is difficult.
Basic topic like, what is Bitcoin? How Bitcoin works? Or even some basic technical about Bitcoin like how the fees works and how the blocks works or transaction works, etc.

You are right here the elementary aspects and the basic should  first be their priority in teaching the students however I am very sure one of those topics will covers the subject on blockchain else it will be very difficult for them to grasp the whole syllabus above all this is a laudable gesture by the French authorities to introduce the teaching of bitcoin in their high school this will in a long run set the students on the right path towards the idea of adopting bitcoin as a digital currency in the future.

Basic principles, basic knowledge, and basic familiarization about blockchain technology first should be their foundation in learning cryptocurrency in schools. In order for us to help youth to adapt cryptocurrency in their knowledge, we should help them first be familiarize with that. High school level is where the students are having some maturity and I believe that people in the age of 15 and above can actually comprehend the value of trust and investment. It is hard to teach students who are not that interested to the bitcoin so you need to tell students if they want to enroll a subject where bitcoin is implemented in the syllabus. But the school should persuade students to pursue studying that subject.

[Gandam23]

How about reading some articles and see if there is really a good impact on the present if the bitcoin will be put on the high school syllabus. Maybe thus can be conduct a study by the government in order to know if they really know if there will be a future for bitcoin if it will be put on the high school syllabus.
But there are some articles in which states that they are already putting the bitcoin in the high school syllabus in fact it is already part of the economics subjects.

Its so early for highschool students to have a course about cryptocurrency and blockchain. It will be better if it is just a seminar or a two day course about the blockchain technology but having one as a course is really too much. They didn't even have a chosen course to begin with. Not all highschool students will be interested with it. I agree that a blockchain course should belong to a course in college that is connected to it because I believe that they can incorporate it to the industry they wanted to pursue.

And to the fact that there are a lot of process for a course to be put in a syllabus, there will be a lot of problem before it will be recognize by the governments around the world. I think there are a lot of other courses for a highschool student that is much needed as a course. Like what I've said earlier, it is much better if it is just a seminar or a two day course in highschool.

Yes that is really happening, bitcoin/cryptocurrency is one of the major markets right now and it's really giving traders and investors a new option. And as time passes by many people are knowing bitcoin so it's a good move to make it part of the education so student's are going to learn about this new market and the can it explore it by themselves. In IT field there's now a blockchain certification so I really think that adding it on high-school subject is really a good move.

[Chris Barth]

Fantabulous! It's a cool thing to have high school students get involved in this. They'll be more zealous and will understand what the government and banks have been doing before they make wealth so they can know the best way to store and manage their money.

[Lorence.xD]

That is an interesting move for education sector in regards to cryptocurrency literacy and innovation as well, in my opinion, that is still a pretty early move but none the less bold, I think that that is too advance for a subejct in a highschool curriculum, I would stake my opinion on implementing more on financial literacy because, what is the point of learning and earning bitcoin if you don't have the knowledge and discipline regarding finance then it is all for naught. I am not against education about cryptocurrency but I think that we should add a stable foundation before learning something big, bitcoin still has an untapped potential unknown to us but we are not yet late to the party so what we can do right now is prepare and be ready when we arrived.
