**Introduction**

There are a lot of challenges facing the world's educational system today and leveraging on blockchain technology can help solve some of these problems. When I talk about world's educational system it in tell all the one 195 countries educational systems. You know there are 195 countries that makes up the world. 

Now before looking into how blockchain technology can solve some of these challenges let us first identify the challenges facing world educational systems today.

**Challenges Facing World Educational Systems**

There are a lot of challenges facing world educational system and most of this challenges are being fueled by political influences and corruption.

1. **Lack of Quality Education**: lack of quality education have been a major issue facing the world today. Many travels from one country to another in a quest for a more quality education. But in all, every country's educational system has their own limitation and challenges. Some of these limitations and  challenges are; varried curriculum standards, teachers quality, and assessment methods.

Let us take Nigeria and Ghana for example.
In Ghana, students in colleges complete one class under one year and their assessment may include attendance in class, punctuality, neatness, and exams stores. This is very different from Nigeria. In Nigeria students in colleges complete a class under 9 months. 3 months for each class, and their assessment may only include their exam scores. I am talking from a experience.

2. **Inequality in Access to Education**: Inequality in access to education is another problem facing world's educational system. This disparities in access to education persist globally. This has become a big challenge especially in undeveloped and developing countries. As a result it has led to digital divide, limited infrastructure, and unequal distribution of educational resources.

3. **Lack of Quality Teachers and Instructors**: This is one of the challenges facing educational system that have tear me apart. Many countries today are in shortage of qualified teachers. How can I qualify teachers produce qualify students**?** the chances are very rare. Teachers can only offer what they have so unqualified teachers can only produce majority of student that are not well taught.
For this reason it is crucial to ensure the continuous professional development of educators and addressing teachers quality is important in order to improve the overall educational system.

4. **Conflicts and Crises:** In many places in the world today there have been report of student not going to schools because of war, political crisis, and natural disasters. these problems have led to the displacement of many students and have disrupted education. It has also led to the destruction of educational infrastructures. These has resulted in many students giving up going to school because they see this problems as something without a lasting solution.

5. **Inadequate Funding:** Inadequate funding has posed a significant challenge to the world educational system. Inadequate funding  has affected educational infrastructure, teachers salary, curriculum development, and has also reduced the availability of necessary sources. 
An example of what I'm saying is my dear country, Nigeria. In most of the states in Nigeria , teachers are been owe for months. These teachers have families they take care of. They also take care of themselves. Government holding their salaries has resulted to them doing business inorder to let ends meet.
These has impeded the efforts to enhance the quality of education.

6. **Technological Disparities:** The world is growing with many things being integrated with technology. Education is not left out, it has also been interpreted with technology and is changing the way student consume education. But then the rough is growing of educational technology has created disparities. This is because some regions benefit more from advance educational technology while some benefit less. Others struggles with limited access so infrastructure and digital tools.
This has in effect hindered effective learning.


These are some of the challenges facing educational systems today, and in order to address this challenges there should be a collaborative effort involving the use of blockchain technology.

**How Blockchain Technology can Help Solve Some of These Challenges**

* **Decentralized Learning:** blockchain technology can help solve the issue of centralized learning which has paused many challenges utilizing blockchain technology for the centralized learning can help solve the issue or unattainable access to education. There are many learning platforms built of blockchain technology. This decentralized learning platforms can provide educational access remotely without the need of centralized platforms.
These decentralized learning can help students continue with their studies regardless of politics crisis, wars, and natural disasters.

* **Smart Contract:** Smart contract can really be of great help in the world educational system. It can help automate processes such as fund distribution. It can help insure that allocated funds reaches  educational programs intended for it.
