Also as education becomes more diversified, democratized, decentralized, we still need to maintain reputation of the education system, trust in certification, and proof of learning. Due to these reasons the employability of graduates has tremendously decreased in the recent years. To provide better solution, we can use the blockchain technology in education. The proposed blockchain applications in education system provide a trusted, transparent, distributed, tamper proof, ledger based infrastructure to securely store, share and verify learning achievements, providing standard mechanism for evaluating the credentials earned by the students during the course of study by issuing a digital certificates.
