El Salvador launches Bitcoin Diploma 2, incorporating Bitcoin education into the national curriculum

El Salvador officially launched the "Bitcoin Diploma 2" educational program on February 24, 2026, upgrading the national financial literacy curriculum.

The program is led by the National Bitcoin Office (ONBTC), distributing new textbooks to public schools nationwide and incorporating Bitcoin-related content into the frameworks of sociology and mathematics courses. The new curriculum covers topics such as the Lightning Network, the history of money, central banking systems, and free market economics, using visual aids and case studies to explain concepts like hash rate, difficulty adjustment, and the UTXO model. The education department stated that approximately 3 hours of related courses will be scheduled each week. Additionally, the plan is being implemented alongside arrangements to deploy AI teaching tools in about 5,000 schools. Reports indicate that at the launch of this educational program, the El Salvador government is still advancing its Bitcoin reserve strategy.
