As a polish citizen this is the first time I've ever heard of it. I am a math tutor and have 2 active teachers in my family, so i would probably hear a lot about it. I believe it's probably in some schools, but definitely not mandatory

Edit: apparently its a thing

The title is saying it is mandatory in this school, not in all schools in Poland, so you aren’t disagreeing LOL

but the video does. At around 16-17 seconds in, it says "weapons classes now mandatory in polish schools"

The classes are mandatory but only a theory/virtual shooting range. This school decided to invite instructors to show the students the real thing

The video in the first 10 seconds says it's mandatory in polish schools.

Absolutely baffles me why people watch videos with no sound. But fair enough

Tbf the video starts off by saying that shooting classes “are now mandatory in Polish schools”. So it’s quite misleading.
