According to Education Minister Sergey Kravtsov (as relayed by Interfax), a compulsory course, "Artificial Intelligence and Information Security", for grades 5–11 will be introduced from September 1, 2027, with a pilot starting in the second quarter of the current school year in thousands of schools; textbooks for grades 5–9 and 10–11 are being prepared and teachers are being trained. Minister of Science and Higher Education Valery Falkov, per the same outlet, said that the core of the new higher-education programmes will include an SI technologies module, with a professional module in years 2–3 depending on the specialty; 17 universities are piloting the basic module.
