【Abstract】This study explores how blockchain technology can transform education with a special focus on the social inclusion of students with limited access to educational resources and those who are typically designated as unreachable. We conduct a systematic content analysis of the existing literature on blockchain to identify factors that influence its adoption and use in education. The findings reveal seven important themes at the macro-level, namely, (1) future of education, (2) technology in use, (3) trust and change, (4) educational impact, (5) technological challenges, (6) teaching style, and (7) privacy and security. At the micro-level, we identify three thematic clusters, namely, (1) individual, (2) institution, and (3) instrument. These themes structure the further exploration of how blockchain can impact education management and development to improve educational quality, accessibility, social inclusion, and equality.
