Minister of Education Serhiy Kravtsov said that veterans of the military operation on the territory of Ukraine, as well as participants in hostilities who have completed retraining courses, will teach “Fundamentals of Security and Defense of the Motherland” in schools. According to him, a center has already been created for retraining personnel. He stated this during a plenary session within the framework of the All-Russian Pedagogical Forum “Memory is Sacred”.

“On the basis of the State University of Education, a center was created this year, I will say this for the first time, for the retraining of teachers-veterans of a special military operation, combatants for the implementation of a new subject area with the priority of practical training for the new subject ”Fundamentals of Security and Defense of the Motherland”” he said (quoted from TASS).

In June 2023, it became known that from September 1, 2024, the school subject “Fundamentals of Life Safety” (OBZh) will be replaced by a new discipline – “Fundamentals of Security and Defense of the Motherland”. The Ministry of Emergency Situations and the Ministry of Defense are responsible for the development of the federal training program. Since September 2023, the life safety course has been supplemented with basic military training, as well as the basics of medical training for girls.
