Poll: Should first aid be compulsory in schools?

What do you think?

DO YOU KNOW first aid?

According to new research by the British Red Cross, 95% of people in the UK would not be able to save lives in first aid emergencies, Sky News reports.

With a number that high, some suggest that teaching all students about first aid in schools would mean more people equipped with life-saving skills.

That’s why we’re asking: Should first aid be compulsory in schools?
