basically we have two types of conventions of current.
1)electronic current convention
2)conventional current convention
In electronic current convention we consider the flow of electrons alone to decide the direction of current.since we consider electrons here, the direction of current would be along the direction of flow of electrons
when we talk about the conventional current we consider the flow of protons..that is the direction of flow of protons decide the direction of current.this movement would be opposite to that of electronic movement
in general we follow the conventional current direction
your question is about the conventional convention..
consider a battery in a simple circuit..when you consider the negative terminal..the electrons which are nearby get repelled by this and move towards the positive terminal due to attraction.but since we follow the conventional convention..the direction of current is opposite to that of flow of electrons
