Yes, it's taught at all high schools in my country. In high school everyone goes on a week long course usually in the mountains where we learn first aid and basic survival skills. Also first aid and safety are taught during last days of school year in every grade. It's what they do before summer holidays when kids have no motivation to study but they have to go to school.

So I went through that and I also have official certificate from the red cross. Fortunately never had to use it.
