The initiative aims to offer educators comprehensive training on blockchain fundamentals, including BNB Chain, Solidity programming, and Web3 concepts. Certified educators will deliver a new curriculum, allowing students to earn official accreditation upon completion. This initiative aligns with Pakistan’s ambition to become a centre for blockchain training, ultimately preparing a workforce for the digital economy.
