A surge of patriotism in Poland has resulted in increased demand for military classes in high schools.

It follows the election of a conservative government and comes amid on-going tension with Russia.

Military classes at Sybiracy School Number 2 in the town of Nowy Sacz are voluntary and any live ammunition is used under strict supervision in designated locations.
