What the petition asks
To make mandatory lessons of self-defence and first-aid in certain P.E lessons. Making it a neccesary topic to go over.
Self-defence and first-aid are invaluable life lessons that save lives in moments when help is unavailable or on its way. These are not changes more major than simple logistics that would go a long way in the lives of students.
