A mandatory course on total defense for high school students is being introduced in Sweden. According to the country's armed forces, this decision is related to the changed international situation and Sweden's accession to NATO, which has increased the need for defense knowledge among young people.

"In addition to knowledge about Sweden's total defense, students also study international law and the role of foreign and security policy in interstate relations, including the role of NATO," the publication specifies.

The program provides for independent digital learning in two hours or classes with a teacher for four hours.

Citation The cabinet reported that staffing capacity must be ensured so that socially important services can function "even in the event of high alert and war."

Military obligation in Sweden covers residents between the ages of 16 and 70, with some 7-8 million people falling under it.
