Le résumé fourni par la source

Education about first aid amongst school teachers is an important aspect of student safety and efficient response to emergency situations in school. The first to react in case of any accidents or sudden health cases in schools are the teachers, thus their quick response is capable of saving lives and avoiding complications. This study determines the levels of knowledge, awareness, and preparedness of teachers at schools concerning first aid procedures. It investigates the issues in teaching experience, exposure to training and confidence levels and institutional support to advance first aid education. The surveys and literature reviews were used to obtain data, which helped reveal the current gaps and the area of improvement. The results indicate the need to incorporate systematic first aid training into teacher education programs, periodically updating the refresher courses, and improving policies on emergency preparedness in schools. Increasing the first aid competence of teachers is not only helping to create safer schools but can also help establish a culture of responsibility, awareness and health among the educational facilities.
