Reforming the Education System with Blockchain Technology

In this era of digitalization extensive utilization of the Internet, combined with the sudden emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic, has compelled higher education institutions (HEIs) worldwide to transition their academic and administrative operations into the online realm. The profound transformations brought about by these unparalleled shifts have given rise to challenges related to trust, identity verification, and stakeholder participation, which impede the successful digitalization of educational processes within higher education institutions (HEIs). Moreover, the HEI environment has grown increasingly intricate due to the inclusion of diverse and heterogeneous information systems and the varied needs of decentralized stakeholders, which encompass faculty members, students, and alumni. In response to these emerging issues, blockchain technology has emerged as a potentially groundbreaking solution capable of enabling tangible innovation and offering avenues for the restructuring of conventional HEIs. In the realm of education, blockchain stands poised to revolutionize the way records are kept and validated, offering a transformative shift that enhances connections between students and faculty.
