On February 17, in order to implement the spirit of the "Notice on Carrying out the Pilot Work of National School First Aid" issued by the General Office of the Ministry of Education, the Office of The First Aid Knowledge and Skills Drill Project for College Students and the Emergency Rescuer Project Office of the China Disaster Defense Association awarded medals and the annual launching ceremony of the China Disaster Defense Association.
Under the guidance of the Department of Physical Health and Art Education of the Ministry of Education, the first aid knowledge and skills drill project for college students is jointly sponsored by the China Disaster Defense Association and the China Medical Rescue Association, and undertaken by Beijing Kuangzheng Emergency Technology Co., Ltd. The first student drill was launched on May 12, 2021, during the National Day for Disaster Prevention and Reduction Week. During the event, more than 1.3 million students from nearly 100 colleges and universities across the country were mobilized to participate, and on November 15 of that year, the "First College Students First Aid Knowledge and Skills Drill" was held to report and perform, and it was successfully concluded. The holding of the project has improved the scientific and standard nature of the first aid knowledge and skills of college students, not only enriched the content of life education, but more importantly, opened up a new way for the implementation of life education.
The training of emergency rescuers of the China Disaster Defense Association aims to enhance the public's ability to rescue in the face of disasters and is the need to strengthen the construction of social emergency response forces. The "Emergency Rescuer" course system is jointly developed by Beijing Kuangzheng Emergency Technology Co., Ltd., a joint member of the China Disaster Defense Association, and the China Disaster Defense Association is responsible for assessment and certification, with a total of three levels. The "emergency rescuer" skills training carried out throughout the country is of positive significance to the cultivation of the national emergency rescue talent team.
Tang Bao, secretary general of the China Disaster Defense Association, pointed out in his speech that the establishment of the two project offices of college students' first aid knowledge and skills in the First Aid Exercise and the China Disaster Defense Association's Emergency Rescue Workers will certainly bring about a new improvement in the education of college students' first aid knowledge and skills. First aid is an important part of the "first witness" to carry out pre-hospital rescue for the wounded and sick. Mastering first-aid skills can not only improve the survival ability of college students themselves, but also in the process of learning first-aid skills, they will more deeply appreciate the fragility and preciousness of life, and will also reflect their own value when rescuing others.
With the establishment of two project offices, two projects will be launched nationwide in 2022. The college students' first aid knowledge and skills drill will be widely trained across the country in a variety of ways, such as online and offline. At that time, there will be more than 200 colleges and universities across the country, and many college students will participate.
Fan Zemin, director of the Department of Physical Education, Health and Art Education of the Ministry of Education, believes that by carrying out the college students' emergency care knowledge and skills drill, the risk awareness of college students will be further enhanced, and in the form of practice, the learning results of students' mastery of the basic knowledge of emergency risk avoidance and emergency self-help and mutual rescue skills have a strong practical demand and great social significance.
Li Zonghao, president of the China Medical Rescue Association, believes that first aid is to give patients the assistance they need in a timely manner when an accident or emergency occurs. Self-rescue and mutual rescue and escape from danger are essential life skills for citizens. Popularizing first aid knowledge among college students is conducive to improving the overall comprehensive quality of college students; Enhance college students' awareness of safety precautions and reduce the harm to students caused by school emergencies.
