What the study found

The study identified nine key areas where blockchain application could be proposed in Bangladesh’s higher education context, and it prioritized five of them based on feasibility and urgency. The authors link these priorities to different targets of SDG 4, which refers to the United Nations goal for quality education.

Why the authors say this matters

The authors conclude that the review helps address a knowledge gap about blockchain use in education in an emerging-country context. They say the findings provide a foundation for future action by policymakers, institutions, regulatory bodies, and educators working toward sustainability.

What the researchers tested

The researchers conducted a systematic literature review of blockchain applications in education. They searched Scopus, IEEE Xplore, and ScienceDirect using targeted keywords covering the years 2016 to 2024, and used the PRISMA flow diagram to screen and select studies.

What worked and what didn't

A total of 39 articles were included after screening, covering articles, conference papers, and book chapters. The review reports nine possible application areas and five prioritized domains, but the abstract does not list those domains individually.

What to keep in mind

The summary provided here does not describe the specific nine areas, the five prioritized domains, or the details of how feasibility and urgency were assessed. It also does not report limitations beyond the scope of Bangladesh’s higher education segment.

Key points

  • The review found nine potential blockchain application areas in Bangladesh’s higher education sector.
  • Five domains were prioritized based on feasibility and urgency in the Bangladesh context.
  • The authors connect the prioritized domains to SDG 4 targets for quality education.
  • The review included 39 studies from 2016 to 2024 after PRISMA-based screening.
  • The abstract says the work is intended to support future action by policymakers and educators.
