Establish a nationwide policy where epilepsy education should be mandatory in all schools

The issue

I recently discovered that there is a significant lack of education around the issue in schools, many students are unsure of what to do when someone has a seizure and I noticed that people often treat people living with epilepsy differently. I want to make New Zealand students who are living with epilepsy no matter how badly their symptoms, feel more accepted in school rather than judged or isolated and they know that if they were to have an unexpected seizure they are in a safer environment.
