Assess the knowledge regarding first aid management for the selected emergencies among primary school teachers

Abstract

The primary school is where a strong foundation of a child’s education is set. This is where a
child’s mind and body must be nurtured and prepared for the future. Primary school kids are
also highly active physically and hence, more prone to injuries. That is why in addition to the
academic education imparted here, their physical health also needs to be cared for
meticulously.
In India, over 80,000 persons die in the traffic crashes annually, over 1.2 million are injured
seriously and about 3,00,000 are disabled permanently. During this entire period (4years)
out of 67,59,599 admissions, accidental poisoning accounted for a total of 650 cases
(0.96%),out of which 130 cases (0.75%) were in 2007, 90 (0.58%) in 2008, 180 ( 1.2%) in
2009 and 250 (1.25%) in 2010.
