mandatory training for secondary schools to teach CPR and first aid.
To add mandatory training for secondary schools to teach CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) and first aid to increase the chance to save lives and to help before paramedics arrive.
First aid and Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) should be mandatory in secondary schools because they teach life-saving skills. In emergencies such as cardiac arrest or choking, quick action can save lives before medical help arrives. Teaching these skills builds confidence, responsibility, and awareness in students. It also creates safer communities, as more people will know how to respond effectively in dangerous situations. This knowledge can help save lives every day.
