Kenya to Place 15 Million Academic Records on Avalanche Blockchain

BitcoinWorld Kenya to Place 15 Million Academic Records on Avalanche Blockchain Kenya’s National Examinations Council (KNEC) is set to transfer 15 million academic records onto the Avalanche blockchain, a move aimed at streamlining certificate verification and curbing document fraud.

The initiative, first reported by The Block, positions Kenya among the early adopters of blockchain technology for public sector record-keeping in Africa.

Why Kenya is turning to blockchain for academic records The KNEC, responsible for administering national exams and issuing certificates, has long struggled with verifying credentials, especially those from decades past.

Manual verification is slow and prone to errors, while forged certificates remain a persistent problem for employers and educational institutions both locally and internationally.
