Question:
why flow of direction of charge is considered as from positive to negative?but we know that the flow of electron is from negative to positive.
Answer:

Electric current flows from high potential to low potential, and the negative charge have low potential but the positive charge have high potential.

So, the electric current flows from high potential to low potential.

But as we know that positive charge (protons) does not move, only electrons move. So, these electrons moves from negative to positive due to force of attraction .
