In a groundbreaking move to advance blockchain education, Argentina’s Ministry of Education has partnered with ETH Kipu to introduce Ethereum and blockchain technology into the Buenos Aires high school curriculum.
Starting August 27, high schools across the city will offer blockchain internships, providing students with invaluable hands-on experience in this rapidly evolving field.
Boosting blockchain adoption in Argentina
The collaboration with ETH Kipu, a leading organization dedicated to Ethereum education in Latin America, marks an important step in integrating cutting-edge technology into secondary education.
The program will include a specialized online Solidity course, designed to train 500 students in the intricacies of decentralized application (DApp) development.
Solidity, a high-level programming language used to create smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain, has gained prominence in various networks, including the BNB Smart Chain and Avalanche.
ETH Kipu aims to equip students with the skills needed to thrive in the blockchain industry, while preparing 30 instructors to deliver comprehensive training on Ethereum and blockchain.
According to Paula Doy, co-founder of ETH Kipu, this initiative not only allows students to discover cutting-edge technology, but also opens up new career opportunities, positioning Argentina at the forefront of the global blockchain movement.
Argentina’s Rising Inflation Drives Cryptocurrency Adoption
The Ministry of Education’s initiative comes amid soaring inflation in Argentina, which has led to significant local engagement with digital assets.
With an annual inflation rate of 276%, many Argentines are turning to cryptocurrencies like Tether (USDT) to protect their assets.
Recently, Forbes analysts reported that Argentina leads the Western Hemisphere in cryptocurrency adoption, with substantial activity on major platforms like Binance.
ETH Kipu’s partnership with Buenos Aires is a promising development, reflecting the country’s commitment to fostering technological innovation and preparing its youth for the future of digital finance.
