Why should pupils be taught about cancer?
Education is a preparation for life and getting an illness is part of life. Learning about cancer helps you and your pupils to know the facts, which reduces fear. It also helps you and your pupils to think about how to help others when faced with cancer. Questionnaires were sent to 2,500 teachers: ‘98% teachers believe that teaching about cancer is important’, (Macmillan Cancertalk project report March 2001).
