杜拜是中東第一個接受以加密貨幣支付學費的國家
民辦學校將會接受加密貨幣付款
由2022年9 月開始，學校將會擴大至接受比特幣及以太幣支付教育費用，即使家長已有固有的付款方式，此舉為家長提供了額外一個容易適性的分期付款選擇。
當學校和加密貨幣平台合作，並轉換為政府發行的貨幣後，這個改進就發生了。
2022年，杜拜計劃成為加密貨幣中心，民辦學校開始跟隨政府的新基礎，其中最為人關注的是政府在監管虛擬資源方面，政府成立了虛擬資產監管局(Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority)，專門監管國內的數碼貨幣。
學校在一份公開聲明中表示，希望協助阿拉伯聯合酋長國，鞏固其在全球電子計算的龍頭地位，民辦學校表示，他們正嘗試從小童的思維及個人發展入手。
杜拜公民學校的創辦人Adil Alzarooni博士認為，這個政策旨在引起人們對正在增長的趨勢和突破性技術的興趣，這些技術對新一代將會帶來深遠影響。另外，這政策有助進一步推動大眾對應用區塊鏈的興趣，公民學校現正打算及步署這個技術。
再者，Aidl Alzarooni博士進一提到應用加密貨幣如何重塑傳統金融體系，公民學校怎樣定位自己。
透過引入這種全新的支付工具，阿聯酋希望可以改善年輕人的就業情況，並促使國家電腦化。隨着人們更歡迎數碼時代，年輕人將會成為未來的商業遠見者和財務支持者。
引入NFT，令專上教育的未來正不斷發展。
現時，NFT正在擴展到專上教育，學生、教育工作者和機構可以利用NFT來改善這個行業。
直到今天，驗證一個人的教育水平和專業資格的最普遍方法，是聯絡頒發證書的機構。
例如，美國高中學生須付款，才能把他們的考試成績發送到申請的大學，部分員工必須聯絡他們的母校，為僱主核實他們的成績單。
這種方法很快就會過時，NFT可以讓它輕鬆過渡，學生將會擁有一個可信的教育檔案代幣，記錄所有成績、成就和資格。
教師可以創造和出售教學內容給中學，讓他們可以獲得應有的版稅，例如，教科書的作者只能在第一次銷售中賺取利潤，NFT允許他們賺取轉售的版稅。
元宇宙在專上教育有很大潛力。
元宇宙有各式各樣的優點，它可以加快課堂內容在網上傳送的速度，國際學生能夠虛擬地與教師見面，教師亦可舉辦虛擬課程和校園活動，其中虛擬參觀校園最為可行，它可以消除學生和教師在地域上的限制，學生和家長無須再舟車勞頓，花大量時間和精神實地參觀校園，取而代之，他們可以輕鬆方便依靠元宇宙上的虛擬空間。

The future of higher education is evolving with the introduction to NFT.
Now, NFT is branching out to higher education, where students, educators, and institutions can use NFTs for the betterment of the industry.
Up until today, the most certain way to validate one’s educational history and qualifications is by contacting the institution that gave out the credentials.
For instance, high school seniors in the United States must pay the fees to have their test scores sent to the college they are applying for. Some employees must contact their alma mater for their employers to verify their college transcripts.
This method will soon be obsolete, as NFT can make it a hassle-free transition. Everything in a students’ records – grades, achievement, transcripts – will be fully owned by them in the form of a credible educational profile token.
Educators can create and sell educational content to universities through the form of NFT. This allows them to receive the royalty they deserve. For example, a textbook author will only receive the profit from their first sale. NFT allows them to add in an option that includes royalties from secondary sales.
The metaverse has a lot of potential in the higher education industry as well.
Some of the advantages of metaverse can accelerates online delivery of courses which
allows international students and educators to meet virtually and Virtual classes and campus activities can be held. Virtual campus visits will be highly possible, allowing universities to disrupt the global barrier that separates students and educators from different parts of the world. Students and parents will no longer need to drive long hours to view the campus, conveniently relying on the virtual space in Metaverse instead.
