What the petition asks
I want the education minister and paraliament to understand how important first aid is and how it can help someone in a life or death situation. To help give everyone the chance to help and save a life, and in the unfortunate event, allow them to receive first aid and or CPR/ Defib use
Change the curriculum to allow for every 3-6 months first aid courses for secondary schools and colleges to be mandatory to carry out. Therefore every student of will know how to perform CPR, basic first aid and how to use a defib if they find themselves within a situation where they are needing to save lives
