Hello friends,

It is another beautiful day to come before you all to discuss another Improvement the blockchain has in our lives today.

I believe you are all doing great and are enjoying your activities in the community and are actively promoting your posts on twitter.

Today, we shall be examining how the blockchain has improved the educational sector, please follow along as we begin this:

The blockchain plays a huge role in ensuring and improving an open and verifyable ranking in the educational system.

Blockchain which is explained to be a distributed ledger which permits multiple individuals to maintain a single version of the truth without the interference of a central authority.

The traditional educational ranking system is most often operated under a centralized authority which leads to manipulations, lack of transparency and wrong biases.

However, with the implementation of a blockchain technology, ranking data can be stored across nodes of computer networks, ensuring that the information is not susceptible to any individual/central authority.

This decentralized nature of the blockchain makes the records more transparent, thus reducing the probability of manipulation.

With the use of blockchain technology, the data recorded on the blockchain becomes impossible to alter.

Educational qualification/achievements such as a student grade, accomplishment, certifications, can therefore be recorded on the blockchain, thus providing a permanent record of a student academic performance.

This immutable nature of the blockchain increases the trust of individuals in the educational ranking system, as data cannot be fraudulently manipulated.

The blockchain also plays an important role in improving alumni network by enhancing data-management, transparency, security in the educational system.

With the introduction of the blockchain technology, educational organizations can issue diplomas, certificates and other academic qualifications as immutable records in a blockchain.

These credentials can then be linked to a specific alumni, thus making the verification process very easy

The traditional alumni database are most times vulnerable to unauthorized access and data breaches, thus risking the personal information of the alumni.

However, the introduction of the blockchain technology makes use of an advanced cryptographic technique, thus securing data transmission and storage.

Here an account is controlled by a user through the use of private keys, which limits the chance of data misuse.

The blockchain plays a huge role in aiding digital identity management by providing a tamper-proof, a secured and a decentralized system for managing and verifying identities in the educational sector.

Student information such as credentials, student record are often stored in centralized databases that are managed by centralized authority in the traditional education system.

However, with the introduction of the blockchain technology, students have a decentralized identity that can be controlled by them.

Decentralized identity can be explained to be a unique cryptographic identifiers that permits users to manage data regarding their identity and choose whom to share it with without the involvement of the central authority.

We have examined in details how the blockchain improves the educational aspect of our life.

In our next discussion, we shall learn more about the involvement of the blockchain in educational developments.
