Petition Make self-defence mandatory in schools

More details

There are various self-defence classes around the country, but people don't usually have the money or the means of getting to them, so I am calling for self-defence to be made part of the school curriculum so the youth of today are better prepared. You could run away if somebody pulls a knife on you, but that doesn't if they are faster than you are. I'm not encouraging violence, I'm just calling for the education sector to step in and make self-defence something that should be taught in schools.

Thanks for reading and I hope this petition gains some success!
Stay safe.
