It was proposed to make elementary military training a separate school subject.

The Ministry of Education is not yet ready to support the transformation of NVP into a separate school subject

Teaching Basic military training in schools as a course for several hours as part of the subject of life safety is not enough, members of the Federation Council believe. According to “Parliamentary newspaper”, in March, several meetings on this topic were held in the upper house of the Federal Assembly with representatives of the Ministry of Education and heads of law enforcement agencies. But the ministry has not yet come to a final decision: it refers to the opinions of the parent community.

In the opinion of senators and experts, the NVP course in secondary school should not be 35 hours a year, but at least three orders of magnitude longer. Moreover, the Federation Council proposes to make the NVP course a separate subject. As one of the authors of the idea says, “after the start of the SVO, it became absolutely clear to all Russians that in order to effectively defend the Fatherland, one must progressively acquire knowledge in the field of military training.”
