I mean yeah technology is important to learn but there's no need to make it mandatory.
Education about blockchain tech definitely does not need to be mandatory.  There are lots of other things that kids/young adults should have to learn, like parenting skills, money management, health care, and other practical topics that would help them in everyday life.  Blockchain education might be an excellent elective course, but given that it's very new and hasn't been widely adopted, I don't see it as something everyone needs to learn about.

Just by seeing that the news is about Atene De Manila Univesity (ADMU) offering a blockchain related course as an elective shows that we are still far from seeing it be offered for the masses.
That's awesome, and it's at least a good start.  If Filipinos are using bitcoin/blockchain tech as much as I hear they are, it's great that something like this is being offered at the university level.  I hope it's a popular course.
