The purpose of this paper is to portray an integrated Education Model which proposes to be student-centric and using technologies like Blockchain technology which can offer security, authenticity, immutability, longevity, data, information, decentralization, no intermediator, reliability, and data integrity. Education Blockchain 4.0 is a part of the Industrial revolution 4.0 which is disrupting the education sector. Blockchain technology is in focus in the last decade amongst users, researchers and practitioners. Despite the growing interest in Blockchain technology, the education sector has not seen much progress in terms of applications. This system uses the research of blockchain-based educational applications. The world is accelerating with IoT and AI. Industry revolution 4.0 is becoming a mandatory standard and necessity in globalization and a logical outcome is Education Blockchain 4.0. It is the need in the educational system due to the disruption initiated by technologies. Quantitative Methodology will be used to prove the conceptual model that proves the relationship between various constructs using PLS-SEM, which statistically can prove these relationships. Smart Blockchain System in education will make everything digital, easily storable, immutable, secured, longevity, easy access, cost-effective, User friendly and integrable to other technologies. The proposed Education Blockchain 4.0 smart system is poised to achieve these objectives across domains and to integrate further technologies making it the most suitable choice for these applications, which is the major contribution of this study. Also, the integration of the system theory of the new student centric education ecosystem, the disruption theory for Blockchain technology in education and the stakeholder theory applied to the education. Education Blockchain 4.0 will be useful for educational organizations to be cost-effective, achieve volumes of scale by integrating various functionalities, sectors. It will be useful for making policy decisions to enhance revenue, profitability and deliver stakeholder satisfaction.

Education Blockchain 4.0 is a part of the Industrial revolution 4.0 which is disrupting the education sector. Blockchain technology is in focus in the last decade amongst users, researchers and practitioners. Despite the growing interest in Blockchain technology, the education sector has not seen much progress in terms of applications. This system uses the research of blockchain-based educational applications. The world is accelerating with IoT and AI. Industry revolution 4.0 is becoming a mandatory standard and necessity in globalization and a logical outcome is Education Blockchain 4.0. It is the need in the educational system due to the disruption initiated by technologies. Quantitative Methodology will be used to prove the conceptual model that proves the relationship between various constructs using PLS-SEM, which statistically can prove these relationships. Smart Blockchain System in education will make everything digital, easily storable, immutable, secured, longevity, easy access, cost-effective, User friendly and integrable to other technologies. The proposed Education Blockchain 4.0 smart system is poised to achieve these objectives across domains and to integrate further technologies making it the most suitable choice for these applications, which is the major contribution of this study.

Education Blockchain 4.0 will be useful for educational organizations to be cost-effective, achieve volumes of scale by integrating various functionalities, sectors.
