El Salvador took a new step in its Bitcoin adoption process. The country’s Presidential Office’s National Bitcoin Office (ONBTC) announced a program to provide Bitcoin training and certification to 80,000 public employees. This move by El Salvador is seen as a sign of its determination to lead in the field of cryptocurrency globally.
Courses for Young Generations to be Included in the Curriculum
According to the ONBTC, Bitcoin training will not be limited to public employees. Additionally, open-source Bitcoin courses named Mi Primer Bitcoin and Node Nation will be included in the curriculum of public schools across the country. The inclusion of Bitcoin courses in the curriculum aims to familiarize young generations with the world of cryptocurrency.
As a reminder, El Salvador made history in 2021 by accepting Bitcoin as legal tender. Now, as a continuation of this decision, the aim is to make public employees proficient in cryptocurrency.
The training program will cover topics such as the basics of Bitcoin, Blockchain technology, and secure usage. It will also focus on the impact of Bitcoin on the country’s economic and financial structure.
Accelerating the Transition to Digital Economy
Market observers expect that if the training program is successfully implemented, Bitcoin usage in El Salvador’s public sector will increase. This scenario is considered a critical step towards modernizing the country’s financial system. The El Salvador government aims to accelerate citizens’ adaptation to the digital economy and spread the benefits of Bitcoin to the widest audience through these trainings.
Moreover, El Salvador’s educational initiative is seen as part of its effort to solidify its place in the global financial world. The country continues to attract international attention with its bold steps regarding Bitcoin, and it is predicted that the start of the trainings will mark a new era in the adoption process of the largest cryptocurrency.
