Launch of Bitcoin Training and Certification Program
The government of El Salvador has announced the launch of a Bitcoin (BTC) training and certification program targeting 80,000 public servants.
This initiative was unveiled on August 21, 2024, by the National Bitcoin Office (ONBTC), the national agency overseeing cryptocurrency-related projects in the country.
The announcement highlights El Salvador's continued pioneering efforts in the realm of cryptocurrency.
Training on BTC, Blockchain, and AI for Public Servants
The Bitcoin education program for public servants is part of the Higher School of Public Administration Innovation (ESIAP), established in 2021 by President Nayib Bukele with the aim of enhancing governance and administrative standards.
This comprehensive program consists of nine training modules, covering key areas such as "cybersecurity, Bitcoin, blockchain, and artificial intelligence (AI)."
Through this program, participants will have the opportunity to learn about these advanced technologies, and upon completion, they will receive certification in each of the respective fields.
The rapid proliferation of technologies such as Bitcoin, cryptocurrencies, and blockchain over the past few years has underscored the importance of education, particularly as the number of people who fully understand these technologies remains limited.
By deepening public servants' understanding of cryptocurrency through this education program, it is expected that the initiative will also promote Bitcoin education in schools and the private sector, ultimately contributing to the growth of the Web3 industry across El Salvador.
