Do you think they are talking about bitcoin in your basic ECON class?
I think no, but to countries thaf bitcoin is legal that would be a great help for students if this will be included, so that, they will know the existence and benefits of bitcoin.
For me it is not that needed and this would create a long term debate in education. Some economist believed that bitcoin is insignificant to global finance. but anyway whatever it is bitcoin helps people and it plays a great part in improving the economy of the country.
