Abstract
Background: Epilepsy is a common chronic neurological condition among children, often presenting significant challenges in academic, social, and emotional domains. Although evidence indicates a lack of their knowledge and preparedness, school teachers are essential in ensuring the safety and inclusion of students with epilepsy. Inadequate knowledge and readiness to deal with epilepsy might result in stigma, inefficient behaviors, or a lost chance to provide necessary first aid during a seizure.
