It's really amazing! Indeed, if Bitcoin technology is included in the school curriculum at the secondary level, the future workforce will be able to understand the digital landscape in a better way. I really want to thank you for taking this initiative personally. I can understand what bureaucracy means and what it takes to reach there. At least your governor is trying to make things a little easier for you.

You are going to create an example. If you succeed, I am sure a lot of other people in this forum will be happy to take similar initiatives to educate the future world about the ever changing digital landscape. It's all about creating a foundation of good deeds, the rest follows!

I don't know about that, I feel like bitcoin is a pretty specific topic and it's really unlikely that a child would be able to understand it even if we were careful about the terms that we are using for teaching them. Maybe basics in reading and reading comprehension first before putting them into something like this.

It's an outstanding thing to do OP to be able to have a conversation with your governor about this topic, Nigeria is such an excellent country because iirc, it's been active in crypto space and the crypto users in there are steadily growing, I don't have the data to back it up though but a governor supporting bitcoin is a milestone for Nigeria since the influence is state wide.

You took a bold step to approach the government (Governor) with a proposal like this.. and that needs to be applauded, but government officials around the world, needs some kind of motivation to implement suggestions like this.

What do you think, will be the motivation for the Governor to implement this in Niger? (They always look for something, where they can benefit) Is there enough demand from his voters to ask for something like this?

Secondary school is probably still quite early in introducing bitcoin into the curriculum, and I think bitcoin would be more appropriate if taught at the high school level. But at any level, bitcoin should only be introduced as a future technology, a currency, and not mention its use in investments. Otherwise, we will have to pay a very high price for teaching investing too early to students.

But I really wonder, is OP a politician? Otherwise, how can he easily meet and discuss with the governor about a certain proposal or project? An ordinary citizen cannot do this.

This is indeed a commendable effort and I am really hoping that the State Governor can be enticed to look more on the many good benefits of adopting the blockchain technology and cryptocurrency with the people. You must always emphasize how this whole thing can be helping many people most especially the younger generation into the future. I am looking forward to some updates on this development.

Kids these days learn things very quickly, but that doesn't mean you have to teach them about investing and finance at an early age. I have also heard about El Salvador implementing bitcoin education for their students, but I don't know if they are implementing it at all levels or just for high school students. Because I find it better to teach bitcoin to children at that age than at a very young age.

Additionally, if bitcoin education for young children is good, why don't the world's top high schools or universities include bitcoin in their educational programs? El Salvador is just a 3rd world country and there is not a huge difference in students there when it comes to bitcoin education. Therefore, it cannot be said that teaching bitcoin to children will bring good benefits.

This is amazing. For a starter member of this forum I could say Im impress with what you did there OP. Not all can do a quick move like that especially linking the bitcoin to government. You are fortunate to have such opportunity to talk that out with him as people cant easily have such privilege for that.

I just hope more member have the same enthusiasm as you are and surely youll become a very important user here in thr forum and continue to contribute ideas and commitment like that.

An initiative that I appreciate. Education regarding the uses of bitcoin is still very necessary. Submitting a proposal with intentions and explanations, which you do by having the courage to speak directly with government officials, will speed up the desired steps because the government's power is still very strong in terms of structured socialization from top to bottom levels.

These photos show the extraordinary reception to the proposed proposal. In my opinion, you have a wide network so it is very easy to meet and discuss an agenda directly with high-ranking officials in your area. Hopefully the results of your conversation with the governor will not only become documentation but that they will take action.

You have taken extraordinary steps in your life, the written proposal you submitted received a positive response from the Governor. The Governor has the authority to issue policies called "Governor Regulations", through circulars signed directly by the Governor that can be easily accepted by other government agencies such as including the Bitcoin and Blockchain curriculum in schools and trying to implement paying government employee salaries using Bitcoin.
Next, we just have to wait when the regulation is officially circulated. I hope that the Governor in your state can welcome the presence of Bitcoin in order to increase the attraction of all civil servants and the general public to adopt Bitcoin in your country.

Thank you Hyphen, submitting such good, unique and ambitious proposal will naturally give it the special attention it gots coupled with the fact that it is in tandem with the manifesto of the state governor. Pokapoka needs to equally understand that this is a new government, an new administrations like this have slimmer protocols as compared to an old government. He's also a young and ambitious Governor that is eager to offer more to the people through his open door policy. Finally, I suggest he goes through the paragraphs again.


You're right but like you say, we will make the push. I want leverage the Governor's efforts to go that route. Including that he's someone with legislative background and the intention of working plus it will be easy for him to formulate state policies around this with his executive powers. Overall, like I mentioned earlier, we could get better by sharing stronger opinions on how this can fly higher.


Reason why we will need to organize a retreat with critical stakeholders including the government officials as the first plan. That will help give them a better understanding which now becomes a motivation to them to implement it, including the Governor. Even though the governor finds it interesting, I think we still need to bring him to speed with the updated knowledge of the Bitcoin technology.


Oh. It's not like so, here a trade or entrepreneurship subject is simply one core “standalone” subject you will have to offer in your school curriculum to purposely acquire career and technical skills that you can later build on in your future endeavors. By studying an entrepreneurship subject, you have that edge of getting first hand and hands-on experience on the subject regardless of the field, whether in the field of finance, economics or information technology. Hence, the name 'Entrepreneurship Subject'.
