Teach first aid in schools as a compulsory part of the National Curriculum

First Aid should be part of the national curriculum in schools. What inspired me was watching a monkey resuscitate an electrocuted monkey on a railway line.
I learned Human Physiology at further education college, as part of that, on the curriculum we were supposed to learn, but were not taught it as it was not tested. As a consequence when somebody had an heart attack I was unable to help them.
I feel all my time studying was a wast of time if you can't even do first aid and save somebodies life.
First Aid should be on the National curriculum. To learn save somebodies life should be a priority in education. It's part of being a good citizen.
We can't stop a lot of things, but this can make a real difference. Each life lost due to lack of Knowledge. If you spell incorrectly nobody dies.
Let's get our priorities right.
