Brief introduction of basic education in Switzerland

Switzerland's education system is divided into four stages: preschool education, primary education, secondary education, higher education and adult education.

The second and third stages are compulsory education, which lasts for nine years. Although there are private schools in Switzerland, most children go to public schools.

Preschool or kindergarten education is mostly funded by the community. The regulations vary from state to state, and children have the right to choose one or two years of preschool education.

The age at which primary education begins varies from state to state: the minimum age for admission is 6 years old. The length of primary education is also different: most states have six years of primary education, but some states have five or four years.

Junior high school is the second stage of compulsory education. Students receive basic education here. There are several different types of junior high schools. Some schools provide practical education to prepare students for apprenticeships; The purpose of some schools is to broaden students' basic cultural knowledge so that they can continue their studies in the next stage. At this stage, the educational structure of each state and the naming of different schools are very different.

When setting courses, the school gives special consideration to international students, so that students can not only complete their studies in Switzerland, but also return to China or go to a third country (such as Britain) for further study.

English education

Courses focusing on hotel and tourism management are usually taught in English, and the diplomas awarded are highly respected all over the world. At the same time, students can choose French, German or Italian as a second foreign language. Mastering a second foreign language is helpful for students' internship.

Simple visa procedures

The Swiss embassy is not responsible for the requirements of international students in China to provide visa application materials. Generally speaking, students with an IELTS score of 5.0 can pass the visa.
