Cardano’s parent company IOHK made the announcement. The intention is to create a blockchain-based system that will track student performance in local schools.
Blockchain technology will make the system tamper-proof and accessible by third parties such as employees without a third party. One of the benefits of using blockchain for education management is minimizing fraudulent university entry and job applications.
The partnership between the Ethiopian government and proof-of-stake blockchain platform Cardano targets five million secondary school students and 700,000 teachers.
Cardano has completed the core identity product of the project, which is a decentralized identity solution dubbed Atala PRISM. IOHK confirmed that the large-scale blockchain ID project would go live in January 2022. In the meantime, the tech company is setting up a physical location in Ethiopia’s capital city, Addis Ababa.
