The First UK School to Accept Bitcoin - Here’s Why

Описание: Claire Chisholm, Principal of Lomond School in Scotland, shares her journey as the first UK headteacher to announce the acceptance of Bitcoin for school fees.

She discusses how a simple conversation with a parent led to months of learning about Bitcoin’s philosophy and economics, and how it aligns with the school’s values of innovation, global thinking, and preparing students for the future.

Claire also outlines plans for Bitcoin-funded scholarships and a vision to create a global model for modern education, rooted in curiosity, resilience, and financial empowerment.
