Grammar schools in Croatia teach it, there is a subject called Logika, with all the moduses (ponens, tollens, etc) and mnemonics (barbara, celarent, etc) and everything in between. And it's probably been a subject since the austrian empire (the inherited school system here is slow to change).
As you might imagine, students mostly learn this for the exams and forget everything when they leave schools. The poor political and economical situation in the country reflects the ineffectiveness of this approach.
And hey, schools in yugoslavia also taught marxism as a subject I kid you not (it was an established science back then!). Yet the whole generation in the 90s soon abandoned it for the next shiny thing. Most probably expected to become capitalists themselves, forgetting that even in capitalism someone has to actually do the work and only cca 200 families would actually own the businesses.

- jfengel 6y agoIt's fascinating that they teach the medieval approach to syllogism. I learned about that in a history of logic class, not in the actual logic classes. Slow to change indeed.
