So the nation Kenya has thought it wise for sometime now to infuse 'coding' as a subject in its basic primary, secondary schools curriculum. It is in a bid to facilitate development in the nation as technology and innovation recounts majorly as the future of mankind.
Since 2022 this initiative started, it has shown remarkable improvement in the thinking, team relationship and problem solving skills of these kids in general.
Coming down to our country, which is supposedly the giant of Africa, I am yet to see such huge idea incorporated in the primary, secondary schools mostly as unemployment and cost of living is in wake.
No doubt technology is advancing rapidly and the major one, is that of Blockchain, cryptocurrencies and Web3. Other than the government looking for how to tax crypto currency and prevent the youths or unemployed from seeking opportunities therein for their betterment, such an idea of teaching the younger kids in schools should be the priority to grow wealth in the nation within coming years. We need our economy improved and subjects that bother on entrepreneurship, Blockchain, coding, cryptocurrencies, Web3 should be made a common denominator in all schools curriculum.
The incoming administration should endeavour to take a cue from the country Kenya and start introducing wealth related subjects like coding, Blockchain, Web3 into all schools curriculum, so as to reduce the hardship and poverty standard of its citizenry in the nearest future. This is how the leaders of tomorrow should become.
Any thoughts?
