Rejected petition Make Emergency First Aid education a statutory requirement in secondary schools.

Recently I was at an emergency situation and very quickly realized that I didn't have sufficient basic first aid knowledge to be able to help.
The only people who could had learned through courses at work, if it was a mandatory requirement for this to be taught in schools many lives could be saved.
