The electron flow takes place from negative terminal to positive terminal and the current flows from positive to negative terminal.
The direction of flow of current was just a supposition that it flows from positive to negative. As current is not electrons but a phenomenon due to flow of electrons, it has become a figure of it own. It is a phenomenon with a random sign convention that anonymously found to be opposite to that of flow of electron.
Therefore, it has become a thing to be reminded as it is. Current flows opposite to the direction of the electrons.
