El Salvador Launches Pilot to Take Bitcoin Content to School Curriculums
The Ministry of Education of El Salvador has partnered with Mi Primer Bitcoin (MPB), a nonprofit dedicated to educating Salvadorans about Bitcoin, to organize a pilot program to introduce Bitcoin courses into school curriculums.
The pilot was announced this week when Mi Primer Bitcoin stated that the organization would teach 150 teachers of 75 public schools about Bitcoin. Then, these teachers will return to their schools to impart courses about the virtues and usage of the first cryptocurrency.
John Dennehy, the founder of MPB, confirmed that if the pilot is successful, it could be extended to all the schools in the country in 2024. Furthermore, Dennehy stated that the organization was looking to expand to other nations, having conversations with the governments of two countries in Latam on this subject.
