Background: As children are more liable for fatal events and they spend longer time in schools, it is crucial to provide current knowledge and training in basic life support procedures to their teachers. Aim: The aim of the work was to assess the effect of health education on the knowledge, attitude and practice of schools' role about pediatric basic life support. Subjects and Methods: This quasi experimental study design was conducted on 100 schools' roles who teach or deal with students in primary school, with a convenience sample collected from some five schools at Ismailia governate, between January and March 2019. After receiving theoretical training, teachers were shown how to do BLS using a cardiac resuscitation model and video. The BLS procedures were then practised by the teachers on the cardiopulmonary resuscitation model. Teachers were required to execute the BLS stages sequentially on the cardiopulmonary resuscitation model after a minimum of 4 weeks and a maximum of 6 weeks following practical instruction. Results: Prevalence of good knowledge increased from 84% in the pre test to 100 % in the post test but this wasn’t statistically significant.
