South Africa can now boast its first business school to accept Bitcoin payments for all degrees, advanced diplomas, certificates and online courses.<\/p>\n
Red & Yellow, which has campuses in both Cape Town and Johannesburg, says it is focused on preparing its students for career success in a digital future, so the acceptance of the next wave of financial currency is the obvious route.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe world is changing rapidly, as are our students and it\u2019s our responsibility to ensure we are serving their future focused needs\u201d said Rob Stokes, chairman of Red & Yellow and founder of digital agency pioneer, Quirk.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe reality is that Bitcoin is here to stay and with many youngsters having made a good return on their investment in cryptocurrencies, they now want to use this digital cash to invest in their education, as future leaders.”<\/p>\n
Prof. John Simpson, former head of management studies at UCT, who is now leading the same faculty at Red & Yellow, said: “Not only will this make our offerings more accessible to the public – individuals and organisations – but it will set us apart on an international scale, regardless of the market.”<\/p>\n
