Ed­u­ca­tion

For a thriv­ing econ­omy and for so­ci­ety as a whole the ed­u­ca­tion sys­tem ful­fills a very es­sen­tial func­tion. Whether in pol­i­tics, cul­ture, or busi­ness, Switzer­land as we know it could not exist with­out a well-ed­u­cated and in­no­v­a­tive younger gen­er­a­tion. High qual­ity pri­mary schools and a dual sys­tem of higher ed­u­ca­tion have made Switzer­land strong. But new in­sights and good ideas can­not be planned. They can only be en­cour­aged: through long-term sta­bil­ity and a large mea­sure of free­dom. We are work­ing to en­sure that the right course is set, and that Switzer­land to­mor­row will re­tain its top rank­ing among the coun­tries of the world.
