While much of Europe continues to shy away from firearms, Poland has taken a bold step forward, implementing mandatory firearms training for school students in response to growing concerns over Russia’s aggression. According to reports from Express U.S., the Polish Ministry of Education and Science launched the program to equip young people with the skills and mindset necessary to defend their country–all lessons even our own country should heed.
The initiative began in the 2023-2024 school year, following a transitional period after the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
