Russian public schools have begun teaching pupils how to assemble and operate drones, following recent revisions to the nation’s school curriculum.
The new modules are being rolled out across state‑run schools as part of a broader effort to modernise education and equip students with practical skills in emerging technologies.
Under the updated programme, students will learn the mechanical and electronic fundamentals required to build a drone, as well as the principles of flight control needed to pilot the devices safely.
Drones have become increasingly prevalent in sectors such as agriculture, logistics and defence, prompting many countries to incorporate related training into school programmes. Russia’s inclusion of drone education reflects a global trend toward integrating hands‑on technology learning at the secondary level.
Education officials say the initiative aims to foster technical proficiency and innovation among young people, preparing them for future careers in a rapidly digitising economy.
