This innovative decision the Salvadorian government has taken, aims to equip the country’s youth with a comprehensive understanding of Bitcoin and its underlying technology.
High School Curriculum Gets a Crypto Boost
The new Bitcoin diploma course, designed for high school students, will cover a wide range of topics related to the crypto asset, including its history, mechanics, potential applications, and blockchain technology.
By taking the initiative to introduce Bitcoin education to high school students in the country, El Salvador is taking a proactive approach to preparing its future generations for a world where digital currencies and blockchain technology are rapidly gaining traction and popularity at an unprecedented rate.
El Salvador Continues to Foster Bitcoin Adoption
The launch of the Bitcoin education program is part of El Salvador’s broader strategy to promote financial inclusion, innovation, and economic growth.
As a staunch and pioneering advocate for Bitcoin, recognizing its vast potential, El Salvador has remained at the forefront of crypto adoption, implementing a series of bold initiatives and policies to stimulate crypto growth.
In 2021, the country made headlines when it became the first nation to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender. Since then, El Salvador’s government, led by President Bukele, has diversified its reserve assets to include a notable stake in bitcoin, currently totaling about 6,118 BTC, according to the latest report.
El Salvador’s crypto-friendly environment motivated Tether to reveal its plans to establish headquarters in the country after the platform acquired the Digital Asset Service Provider (DASP) license.
However, since El Salvador’s bold move to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has been consistently pushing for a reversal, but the country resisted until early this year when it slightly acquiesced to the IMF’s demands.
In January, El Salvador’s Legislative Assembly gave the green light to a bill that made it optional for businesses to accept Bitcoin. The move was aimed at meeting the conditions of a massive $1.4 billion deal with the IMF.
