CPR training to be taught in secondary primary schools
I believe that first aid training including CPR should be taught in high schools across the country. Not only will it save lives, it is a much needed skill when it comes to getting a job. For example working in the care sector. It will also boost their confidence in real life emergencies.
I believe that if adolescents were taught this within high schools it would have a meaningful and structural affect. If a 14/15 year old come across a person in need of first aid and did not know what to do to help them, think of the impact on this young person.
There are many things in schools being taught that will never be used in the real world or towards their future.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
How to administer CPR is already part of the health curriculum for secondary schools, which you can see on page 38 of the curriculum guidance here:
