I've been in the world of trading for about 20 years now, so I am in the right position to say that trading is not child's play. To date, in the course of my trading escapade, I've met hundreds of people (if not a little above a thousand), and I've also trained quite a few myself. However, as I type now, I am the only active trader among them. This is how scary trading is. I, myself, should have abandoned trading for years if not that I was stupidly stubborn until it got better.
If the government think that this idea of training youth in forex trading can help the youth of course they should go ahead, this is just a way of creating awareness and also opening some people's eye to see what is happening in this crypto space. So I don't see anything wrong with that idea, though forex trading is not just something you learn within a couple of weeks or months it take years before you can be able to get all the necessary informations about forex trading. And surely, some people may not be patient enough to continue learning. just as it is in bitcoin investment not everyone that is willing to invest in bitcoin due to the long term commitment so is not a must that everyone must learn but one thing for sure is there will be a set of people that would continue learning until they get all the information they're looking for just as you did.
