The nonprofit and NGO Mi Primer Bitcoin partnered with the Ministry of Education of El Salvador to include Bitcoin in its curriculum.
The Ministry of Education of El Salvador and the nonprofit, nongovernmental organization Mi Primer Bitcoin (MPB), meaning “My First Bitcoin,” partnered to add Bitcoin education to public school curriculum by 2024.
John Dennehy, the founder of MPB, confirmed to Cointelegraph that this is a project of the Ministry of Education that MPB is assisting with, along with Bitcoin Beach.
The Mi Primer Bitcoin program, from which students receive a diploma of completion, will be the primary source material for the Bitcoin portion, according to Dennehy.

He said training for the pilot program begins on Sept. 7 with assistance from Bitcoin Beach. The Bitcoin diploma program will be taught to 150 public school teachers from 75 schools to provide them with a “base knowledge” of Bitcoin.
“As the first nation to adopt Bitcoin, El Salvador will be an example for the world. Quality education is our best chance to ensure that that example is a positive one.”More:
