The educational system now resembles more of a cycle, where knowledge is being recycled in the minds of the younger generation. When we examine certain aspects of this sector, we realize that we are essentially being taught the same things repeatedly. Some of these concepts are quite important, especially when we choose a career path at an early stage, while others are not necessarily meaningful.

The educational curriculum is dynamic. In countries with a functional education system, the content of the curriculum is reviewed based on current realities. New topics are added while irrelevant ones are removed from the document. In my country the curriculum is reviewed every five years, therefore I don't think students are taught obsolete topics.

At times, I ponder, why do we even go to school?. Is it just to gain knowledge or to achieve financial success in the end?. Well, it appears to be both. If our ultimate goal is to secure a good job or a stable source of income, then why aren't we taught certain financial matters at various stages, such as investment, money management, and effective saving methods?. Sadly, many individuals today earn significant incomes but lack a solid financial foundation.

Savings, investment and how to effectively use your income are taught in schools under different subjects. But the problem is that emphasis are not placed on them. However, you don't expect the school to teach you everything, it is the responsibility of school graduates to seek for more knowledge.

It's interesting to note that the current evolution of Bitcoin and its technology is gradually rendering banks and financial institutions outdated. The failures of banks and financial institutions have been revealed, as many now see Bitcoin and its technology as a new form of money, a good saving and investment plan, and also a way to manage money.

I don't think Bitcoin was designed to replace banks. Banks have some important role to play in the financial system. Regardless of the advantages of using Bitcoin, many people will still prefer using fiat. Bitcoin will always be an alternative to fiat.

Unfortunately, our schools still teach the young about banks and financial institutions, denying them the truth about real world happenings. Additionally, history has become a core subject even for those who want to study courses far outside it. They continue to teach these young ones about those who have ruled and stolen money from their nation, rather than implementing a financial subject (like Bitcoin) that would enable them to build their future at an early stage.

Children need to keep learning about banks and the current world financial system because these institutions are still operational. Maybe they will stop learning about banks when we no longer have any banks around. Students need to learn about the history of their nation to enable them to learn lessons from the past. History lesson is not just only about past leaders and some politicians should be emulated because they did very well. However, most politicians who stole money didn't end well.

Question - Do you think Bitcoin should be made a core subject in our schools?

Children in primary schools are already been exposed to Bitcoin when money is been taught. As they move to high school Blockchain technology is exposed to them and Bitcoin is discussed. Some universities offer courses on cryptocurrencies. I think financial education should become a core course while Bitcoin education should be included as an avenue to invest.
