Teach children CPR in schools.

What the petition asks
Make it mandatory to teach children CPR in schools.
After watching the euros tonight it highlighted the importance of CPR. It significantly increases the chance of a person's survival if good quality CPR is given straight away. I believe this should be taught in schools so everyone has basic knowledge how to perform CPR to potentially save lives.
