ICT policy

Until recently there was no overall strategy for the integration of ICT in schools, although there was a more general Information Society Strategy, which was updated in 2006. Now the national strategy for ICT in education aims at integrating ICT in teaching at all levels and ensuring digital literacy to enable all pupils to acquire the necessary competences.

Responsibilities
According to the Federal Constitution, the cantons are responsible for school education. The cantons and their municipalities bear all responsibility for regulation and implementation in the field of compulsory education and pre-school.
