El Salvador has become the first country in the world to teach Bitcoin to every student aged 7 and older — a bold move that blends education with the future of finance. This pioneering program is now part of the national school curriculum, giving young minds an early introduction to the world of digital money.
Students will learn how Bitcoin works, how it’s used in everyday life, and why it’s transforming the global economy. Teachers are receiving special training to make lessons interactive, fun, and practical.
Bitcoin brings powerful benefits — lightning-fast, low-cost cross-border payments, financial access for the unbanked, and protection against inflation. It puts financial control back into the hands of individuals, without relying on traditional banks. By understanding this early, students will be ready to thrive in the growing blockchain economy.
With this step, El Salvador is positioning itself as a leader in financial innovation and digital literacy, inspiring a new generation to shape the future of money.
