Changpeng "CZ" Zhao, founder of Binance, said that practical education data from his Giggle Academy learning platform will connect young learners to job opportunities instead of focusing on degrees. This statement was made during a podcast.
"I'm not trying to get them university degrees or high school degrees, it's jobs, right," said Zhao, according to YouTube. "And once we have the education data, we can help the employers to find them, right? So this kid is like 90 percentile in math and he's done this many projects. So we can make this work for kids to get them jobs early."
Giggle Academy, launched by Zhao, is a gamified, AI-enhanced K–12 education platform aiming to offer free, globally accessible learning focused on literacy, numeracy, emotional intelligence, and entrepreneurial skills. It operates on a no-cost, no-revenue model funded entirely by Zhao and targets underprivileged children in regions with low literacy rates. According to Token2049’s coverage, its mission reflects growing global interest in bridging equity gaps in education.
