Poland Mandates Shooting Classes for Elementary Students by 2025 Amid Rising Russian Threats Using Ball Guns and Air Guns
Dec 16, 2024, 09:15 AM
Poland has become the first European Union country to mandate shooting classes for elementary school students, a decision driven by escalating concerns over Russia's military actions amid the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. Starting in 2025, students will engage in training using ball guns, air guns, and virtual shooting ranges. This initiative reflects a broader trend of preparing youth for potential threats, reminiscent of firearms education during the Cold War. The Polish government has emphasized the need for readiness in the face of possible aggression from Russia.
