The Russian Ministry of Education announced that it had created a “holistic concept” of training for military service together with the Ministry of Defense and other agencies, Lenta reports.

“We have prepared with the Ministry of Defense, with the “Knowledge” Society, with Rosmolodezh (No. Agency for Youth Affairs of Russia), the Ministry of Education and Science, and the Ministry of Culture a comprehensive concept of training for military service. Today and tomorrow we will discuss separately with the ministers,” said Russian Education Minister Serhiy Kravtsov during a speech at the “New Philosophy of Education” forum.

However, he has yet to provide more details about this concept of military training, which would be developed by Russian government agencies, but it is likely to be related to the introduction of mandatory military training for students in Russia, a measure approved last November. .

Although it is planned to be implemented in Russian schools from the next school year, numerous videos that appear on social networks indicate that it has already begun in some educational institutions.

This measure was adopted in the wider context of the “militarization” of schoolchildren in Russia after the start of the “special forces operation” on February 24 last year.

At the opening of the 2022-2023 school year, shocking footage of children holding bouquets of flowers with the letter Z, “patriotic lessons” about the war in Ukraine, performances in military uniform appeared on social media.

“Students will not remain alone in the face of the information war unleashed against our country,” Sergey Kravtsov said then, explaining some of the changes that have already been made to the education system in Russia.
