That's nice, but since these students are still learning, I don't think that these institutes are actually encouraging students to learn how to trade or do such activities at an early age but rather educating them early so that they have decent knowledge about crypto and how it works, then probably study a brief history on how even Bitcoin and cryptocurrency started from the bottom.
About being hacked, I think it's important for students to study about how to avoid getting hacked, learning the different attacks of hackers through the internet, it's mandatory for schools to teach that as technology and social media continues to rise, hackers will never stop, so this is an actual way on educating the students on how to take care of their accounts better.
Giving good education for young minds about cryptocurrency and how it works is a good thing to include in colleges curriculum knowing this will bring good future for them since digital technology continues to arise. But not literally that teachers should teach them how to trade successfully, maybe just an overview of a good trading can help students to sort it out in the future.
However, as technology arises, there are more scammers and hackers too have become visible and in order to stop this, then there should be no more fools to easily believe in what is too good to be true offers. If all people have become educated about this, then scamming may not be totally stop but it can be somehow lessen or minimized.
