Russia Prepares September Rollout of New School Subjects, Digital Ruble, and Camel Registration

What’s changing in Russia this September? ‘Spiritual and Moral Culture’ classes in schools, the digital ruble, and mandatory camel registration.

High schoolers are starting to study social studies from a textbook edited by Medvedev, while fifth-graders begin a new course called “Spiritual and Moral Culture of Russia.” Some schools will now offer Arabic as a second foreign language, and behavior grades will be introduced for students in grades two through eight, though not every school will adopt the practice.
