Abstract
Education is the greatest and the most essential asset in this world that any human can attain. But the current education system has lots of unwanted intermediaries, which makes it difficult to deliver the concept to each and every individual. Current system is unable to bring out a particular student’s potential to the fullest and is not able to make them showcase their capabilities and talents. Courses provided in the system lack flexibility and are not updated regularly. This leads to circulation of outdated and inappropriate information. To counter all these problems, our proposed system uses blockchain technology to establish trust between parties like teachers, students, and parents by eliminating intermediaries to provide seamless and up to date info with the power of distributed ledger. Our proposed system fragments the cities into small cells which will be governed by an education director who is responsible for recruiting teachers to tutor the student’s in their cell. These teachers are provided with a web portal which allows them to invoke a smart contract where students can enroll themselves in any courses. Our proposed system provides two ways of attending the course one is the present online video tutorial with improved transparency. The next way provides a traditional classroom where the teacher rents a building or a hall which can hold all the students and provide the essential needs. Students can pay the fees of the course in the beginning or pay a daily fee. The money paid gets locked in the smart contract, and after completion of each class, the rent for that particular day is transferred to the building owner, and the wage for the teacher is also transferred instantaneously. In our proposed system, various new courses can be added in the go and will also abide by the central government's syllabus. Students just need to complete certain mandatory courses for their grade completion in the given period of time along with the topics of their choice.
