Primorsky Krai schools teach life-saving first aid to hundreds of students
First aid training is now a regular part of school life in Primorsky Krai. Nearly 200 students and schoolchildren took part in a major training programme this year. The initiative reflects a growing focus on teaching life-saving skills to young people across the region. The 2026 training sessions included hands-on practice with mannequins and emergency drills. Students worked through realistic scenarios to build confidence in responding to injuries or medical crises.
At the Format school in Nadezhdinsky Municipal District, a joint workshop brought together pupils and parents. Instructors highlighted that first aid is not just for professionals—anyone might need to use these skills in an emergency. The region already has 43 specialised medical classes in 28 schools, where first aid forms part of the curriculum. A recent competition at Pacific State Medical University gave students a chance to demonstrate their abilities in front of judges. One participant, Milana Solovyova, found the experience so inspiring that she now plans to study medicine. The push for wider training aligns with United Russia’s national programme, which aims to make first aid education more practical and accessible. President Vladimir Putin has also spoken publicly about the importance of spreading first aid knowledge.
The programme’s expansion means more young people in Primorsky Krai will learn essential emergency skills. With 43 medical classes already running, schools are preparing students to act quickly in crises. The initiative continues to grow, supported by both local and national efforts.
