El Salvador’s National Bitcoin Office (ONBTC) has initiated a comprehensive training program to educate and certify 80,000 government employees on Bitcoin. The Bitcoin-friendly nation aims to equip public servants with essential knowledge on the strategic management and public policies surrounding Bitcoin.
This extensive 160-hour virtual and asynchronous training, known as Certification in Public Administration 1, is structured into seven modules. Each module covers various concepts, laws, skills, and management techniques related to the use of Bitcoin as legal tender.
Stacy Herbert, director of ONBTC, anticipates that educating civil servants will have a “compounding effect” on El Salvador’s Bitcoin-driven economy. She plans to introduce more educational initiatives, emphasizing the importance of these long-term commitments to the country’s success. “These education projects are very low time preference commitments to the long-term success of El Salvador and its Bitcoin (and tech) policy,” Herbert stated.
The Bitcoin certification program is conducted by the Higher School of Innovation in Public Administration (ESIAP), an institution inaugurated by President Nayib Bukele in August 2021. According to ONBTC, also known as “The Bitcoin Office,” the curriculum is specifically designed “to strengthen the standard of excellence in governance and public administration in El Salvador.”
El Salvador’s success with Bitcoin adoption has attracted the attention of other nations, particularly those grappling with hyperinflation. In May, Argentina began collaborating with El Salvador to learn from its experience with Bitcoin adoption and other cryptocurrency activities.
Argentina’s securities regulator, the National Securities Commission (CNV), met with El Salvador’s National Commission of Digital Assets (CNAD) to discuss strategies for crypto adoption and regulation in both countries.
