In 2025, all the educational institutions in the Republic of Dagestan (schools, colleges and universities) will include fact-checking into the curricula.

This initiative was formalized through a collaboration between the Centre for Regional Management (CRM) and Dagestan Ministry of Education and Science. The CRM assumes responsibility for developing methodological guidelines, which will subsequently be tailored by the Ministry to align with the requirements of extracurricular programs.

“The objective is to empower young individuals with the ability to discern authentic information from fabricated content, effectively combating the proliferation of harmful narratives in the digital realm. In the foreseeable future, plans are underway to form a special team called to confront misinformation in the republic - Islam Musayev, CRM director says.
