Title: Chess as part of the school curriculum
Post by omar on Apr 20th, 2011, 5:08pm
Armenia has recently made chess a required part of the school curriculum.

FIDE also seems to be pushing to get chess into schools in more countries.

I've read that there are 30 countries where chess is required in schools. But I have not been able find the list of countries.
