This confuses me. You first write "lecture of one hour" which also means time to prepare the material etc. (so more than one hour) but then you write "devote a few minutes".
You seem to be talking about a bitcoin school with courses, syllabus and exercises. This sounds a lot like Base58 from @niftynei. Base58 courses cost money because they require a lot of work.
You not only need to know what you're talking about, you also need to know how to teach it effectively.
I'm sorry to say, but I think you're underestimating how much work this requires or I am misunderstanding something.
If I don't, I agree with @grayruby. I think this is too formal and requires too much buy-in. I think there are already a lot of free resources to learn from. If you have specific questions, you can ask them in ~bitcoin_beginners.

Okay, I acknowledge I've underestimated (may be) time required to; also it leads to a confusion. But I was talking with view in my mind that we already have a lot of content and for many topics we will just need to align it to the classroom sessions. This will reduce efforts and time for most of the classes.

At first glance, these courses seem to be designed for someone who is willing to learn coding or technical part of blockchain etc. I don't say, I don't want to include technical knowledge in the classroom but that would be in the advanced level classes.
Who I really want to target with these classrooms are newbies who have just stepped foot in Bitcoin want to learn everything from the basics.
After everyone's valuable input, I think I should come up with another post where I'll add these thoughts.

To back this up a little:
Mastering Bitcoin is officially available for free online here. I bought the book because I wanted to read it offline but after I read it, it boggles my mind that such good information is available for free. Really shows how much Andreas Antonopoulos cares about bitcoin.
Mastering the Lightning Network is also available for free online here and is of similar high quality.
Most of my bitcoin and lightning knowledge is from these two books. They are also good to look some stuff up.

Thanks for your valuable input!
I'll study the material you linked and it'll be a real help to going forward with this idea.
