The Swiss School System with Margaret Oertig, Episode 2
About this episode
In this episode we welcome back Margaret Oertig, to continue the conversation about schools in Switzerland.
In our first call together we covered what's different about the Swiss school system, what is taught at Kindergarten, getting ready for secondary school, common issues that incomers sometimes find challenging, the different paths available in the Swiss school system, the apprenticeship system, the selection criteria for the Swiss school system, a little bit about the Gymi and quite a bit more besides.
Among other things, today we'll be covering tertiary education in Switzerland, university entrance requirements, the provisions for children with special needs or for gifted children and how to work together with the school.
