During the year 2006 approximately 1,201 pupils and students of primary and secondery schools were instructed in providing first aid which comprised a total of 173 lessons. A short knowledge test was given to the 8th and 9th levels pupils after finishing the lessons. Conclusion from the test is, the target was completed. One of the significant results is that a 9th grade pupil (participant in this project) saved the life of a drowning young man thanks to his qualified approach.
