A user mentioned that performing CPR in an emergency should be taught to students from high school as it's a social responsibility for all. He wrote, "All the more reason that training in CPR becomes part of the school curriculum, along with sports and social service. Children should be aware of their social responsibility from high school."

All the more reason that training in CPR becomes part of school curriculum, along with sports n social service. Children should be made aware of their social responsibility from at least high school.

In today's era of hypertension, stressful lifestyle, and mental health disorders, the chances of sudden heart attack have increased. Everyone should know the basics of CPR as it might save a life.
