Lomond School, a private institution in Scotland, has announced it will accept Bitcoin for tuition payments and is collaborating with author Saifedean Ammous to create a new curriculum centered on Bitcoin and Austrian economics.
Acceptance of Bitcoin at Lomond School
Lomond School will officially accept Bitcoin as payment for tuition starting from the autumn semester of 2025, making it the first school in the United Kingdom to implement this payment option.
Collaboration with Saifedean Ammous
Saifedean Ammous, best known for his book 'The Bitcoin Standard,' will develop an educational curriculum combining Bitcoin principles and Austrian economics. He shared his excitement about making the material widely available.
Global Bitcoin Education Trends
In recent years, educational institutions worldwide have increasingly incorporated Bitcoin into their curricula. For example, the University of Nicosia in Cyprus launched a Master's program in Digital Currency back in 2013. Many other universities have also introduced courses focused on Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies.
These developments in Bitcoin adoption by schools reflect a growing interest in cryptocurrency education, which may have a significant impact on how future generations approach economic thinking and education.
