For Immediate Release:
Massive Bitcoin Education Program Launch in El Salvador (Sept 7, 2023)
Usulután, El Salvador--This morning, with support from @MyFirstBitcoin_ & @BitcoinBeach, the Ministry of Education (@EducacionSV) began a pilot program that could bring Bitcoin education to every school in the country in 2024.
The pilot program, which launched on the 2-year anniversary of the #BitcoinLaw, will teach 150 public school teachers about Bitcoin. Those teachers will then return to their own classrooms, scattered around the nation, and teach in their local school.
@MyfirstBitcoin_
is a Bitcoin education NGO & non-profit based in El Salvador which has taught over 25,000 in-person, in-country students since launching in 2021. Last year they developed a 10-week #BitcoinDiploma and began teaching it around the nation. It has since been open-sourced and improved, currently on the 5th edition. This diploma was taught to staff from the Ministry of Education earlier this year and is the material being used today to teach the teachers. The Ministry has used it as primary source material to develop their own curriculum which the teachers will use in their local schools as the pilot program expands.
@Bitcoinbeach
is the pioneering Bitcoin circular economy project that’s success helped lead to the nation adopting Bitcoin as legal tender. They have also assisted with trainings as well as provided funding to print books.
@bitcoinofficesv
, an official government office and another pioneering product born in El Salvador, has also been instrumental in getting the project off the ground and ensuring its success. This is in addition to their work with
@cuboplus
which is a separate, ongoing education program focused on elite developers.
@MyfirstBitcoin_
was founded with two ambitious goals in mind: to help teach a nation Bitcoin & to help make El Salvador into an example for the world to follow. While the Ministry of Education in El Salvador forges new ground, the world is taking notice.
@MyfirstBitcoin_
works with grassroots education projects in over 20 nations, sharing their open-source materials and best practices. They have also begun early talks with two additional LatAm governments interested in providing Bitcoin education at scale.
