The question

Do you think road safety education should be mandatory in schools? Why or why not?

Excellent answer (transcript): around CLB 11–12

I strongly believe that road safety education should be mandatory in schools for several important reasons. First, early education on road safety helps children develop essential habits that protect them throughout their lives. By learning about traffic rules, pedestrian safety, and responsible driving, students are better equipped to navigate busy roads and avoid accidents. Second, road safety education can foster a culture of responsibility and awareness, not only among students but also in their families and communities. Children who understand the importance of road safety can share this knowledge with others, amplifying its impact. Lastly, a comprehensive road safety program in schools would contribute to reducing the number of road accidents, particularly among young and inexperienced pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers. In conclusion, road safety education is crucial for creating safer communities, and it should be a mandatory part of every school curriculum.
