The influence of blockchain is evident across several industries, including education. The education industry adapted to digitalization quickly during the epidemic. The blockchain has the potential to alter this situation entirely. First and foremost, blockchain for education can fundamentally change how students and instructors collaborate and how academic records are managed. The distributed ledger blockchain technology could significantly impact the education industry regarding responsibility and transparency. Let us examine how blockchain could take advantage the education resource.

In charge of student data

- Currently, checking student data manually requires a substantial amount of time & effort.

- Blockchain technology makes it simple to transfer student data for individuals participating in exchange programs or switching universities in the middle of the academic semester.

- Complete access to data from multiple universities and information exchange across institutions would be simple.

- Document validation is simple in very few taps once data has been deposited on the blockchain.

Issuing degrees and certificates

- Using blockchain technology, digital certificates & degrees may be handed out to students in place of traditional paper papers.

- In the following aspects, digital certificates are superior to their paper equivalents:

1.They use less energy and are lower vulnerable to harm.

2.Instantaneously and digital certificates may be issued.

3.By making papers available digitally, forgery may be significantly decreased.

Preserving documents

- There are several limitations to data storage in the digital age.

- They occupy a remarkable space, keeping diplomas, curriculum, and other documents.

- Educational materials are stored locally while being at risk of losing data.

- Another issue with cloud storage is centralization.

Blockchain-based internet services can simplify storing files by providing safe and practical options.

Making courses and classes

- Professors may program classes and programs onto a blockchain via smart contracts. For teachers to be informed when pupils finish assignments, smart contracts assist in establishing a list of responsibilities for the course.

- Blockchain technology could also aid researchers and make it easier to release their research articles.

- They are spared the arduous process of traditional publishing.

- Investigators' management and safeguarding responsibilities are also guaranteed.

The term "blockchain" comes immediately to mind whenever safety is an issue. Concerning data leaks, education is also not far away. Cybercriminals are in high demand for student data that contains little financial data. At the same time, student identification is becoming a significant issue at educational facilities that are compromised to produce false identities and documents. Thus, the need to protect student privacy grows as student data becomes more digitalized.
