Copiii din Rusia încep „instrucția militară” în școli

Starting Monday, Russian schools will incorporate military training into half of their defense classes for students aged 13 and older. This change, mandated by the Ministry of Education, includes lessons on weaponry, first aid in combat, and responses to chemical exposure. The initiative aims to address the military's need for approximately 400,000 recruits annually, following significant casualties in the ongoing conflict. Additionally, veterans are visiting schools to share experiences, and a revamped military game, 'Zarnitsa 2.0', is being introduced to engage students. The government has significantly increased funding for patriotic education, reflecting a shift towards militarism in the curriculum.
