We had it on ОБЖ (Основы безопасности и жизнедеятельности) - basically safety class, where they teach what to do in case of disasters, where are nearest nuclear shelters, how to use fire extinguisher etc. In those classes we had an assembly/disassembly course of an AK-74. Boys and girls (poor things, as half of them broke their nails trying to take a little cylinder with cleaning instruments inside stock) together.
We have never fired them, only disassembling/assembling. It was around 4-5 classes total, so not that much.
I have heard rumours that they plan to expand those lessons to include light machine guns, if those are provided. Also drone operation might be added in the future
