“The beauty of blockchain is it’s decentralised”

Focus on Africa

Available for over a year

Ethiopia is planning to radically transform access to education – using blockchain technology. The country’s Education Minister Getahun Mekuriya tells Focus on Africa’s Audrey Brown that he hopes the adoption of the technology will improve both the quality of education offered and access to it. Many schools will be hooked up to the country’s electricity grid for the first time as a result of the project. (Photo: Digital encrypted lock graphic. Credit: Getty Images)
