In the future, your academic performance, attendance rate and degree certificate can be checked on the blockchain

The original function of blockchain technology is to record and confirm digital currency transactions under the Bitcoin network. As blockchain technology has developed to this day, its application scope is becoming wider and wider. Bitcoin operates under a decentralized financial network, so blockchain technology first emerged in the banking and financial industries. Today, more and more industries have become interested in blockchain technology, including the education industry, and many educational institutions have begun to use this technology.

Blockchain technology offers us endless opportunities. Some educational institutions have already adopted this technology, while others have also expressed plans to introduce it in recent years. The main application of blockchain technology in the field of education is the recording and certification of academic performance, attendance and degree certificates.

The most well-known features of blockchain technology are security, transparency, and immutability. Through this technology, educational institutions hope to make archive maintenance more efficient, transparent, and secure. In addition to the advantages of efficiency and security, blockchain technology allows students to view their certificates at any time and anywhere, so that they no longer have to worry about losing their certificates, and also save the trouble of reissuing them.

The University of Nicosia is one of the first universities to use blockchain technology. They store students' awards on a distributed ledger. George Papageorgiou, a teacher at the University of Nicosia, said that the new system has been well received and students have expressed their willingness to use the technology at the first time. It is worth noting that the university is also the first to offer a cryptocurrency course.

As blockchain technology is applied in the mainstream education industry, Bitcoin has also risen. Some university campuses have installed Bitcoin ATMs, and Bitcoin, as a payment method, is gradually being accepted by campus stores. It can be seen that it is inevitable for students to be exposed to digital currency and blockchain technology. Moreover, the application scope of Bitcoin and blockchain technology is becoming wider and wider, and many students will be more or less exposed to this industry after graduation.

Blockchain technology is conducive to simplifying the education system. In addition to the functions mentioned above, blockchain technology can also meet the recruitment function of potential employers. It provides a one-stop platform for students, employers and schools to obtain, share and certify certificates.

In summary, the use of blockchain technology in the education system can effectively prevent the forgery of academic qualifications and accelerate the development of the education system.
