Make sign language and first aid mandatory in schools

Rejected 16 signatures

What the petition asks

Get sign language and first aid taught compulsory in schools

So many more children are now not only deaf, but a lot are also non verbal due to other needs, this will help all children, verbal/non verbal, deaf, not deaf be able to communicate
First aid should also be compulsory too, why not teach all children how to save lives?
