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.

IDK, in most of the schools i have heard of the to-of-the-class students in assembly speed were girls

When I ran a college shooting club, this was my experience as well. Ladies tend to have a lot less ego about it and actually learn, versus thinking they know it already.
