Blockchain: Enriching Education

In the current word scenario, education is in a precarious condition. Since it is a commodity that cannot be quantified easily, corruption and quality compromise are rampant. Education today has become more diversified than ever, with a large number of private institutions and organizations thronging the scene. Such trends have put the authenticity of skill assessments under question, and the trust in certification and proof of learning has taken a hit.

In order to ascertain a person’s credentials in the field of his or her assessment, Blockchain is one revolutionary technology that provides us with a breakthrough solution to all the problems pertaining to authenticity and justness. It builds up such a system that is transparent, online and secure. In such a system, the assessment of the candidate will be done, and a digitally secure certificate would be provided, which would not only make sure that nobody can tamper with the assessment, but also ascertain that the certificate cannot be counterfeited.

Digital certificates are registered on the Ethereum blockchain, cryptographically signed, and tamper proof.

Adoption of the Blockchain technology would not only make skill assessments more transparent and secure, but also shift from the currently used wasteful techniques that involve pen and paper. In other words, you get an authentic assessment of skills, with a reduced carbon footprint.

The field of Blockchain technology is one that is filled with ample opportunities, which, if made good use of, will only lead to a more transparent system of dealing with a wide array of services, wiping clean the horrors of corruption and forgery.
