Teacher Shortage Prompts Swiss Culture Ministries to Consider 'Creative Freedoms' in Curriculum
Swiss ministries of culture are advised to consider 'creative freedoms' in curriculum distribution due to a teacher shortage. Meanwhile, concerns are raised about reduced hours for history and religion/philosophy in upper grades, and the lack of new 'homeschooling resources' for teaching small subjects.

'Teachers pay teachers' feel their preparation for school is too theory-heavy. In Switzerland, the staff quota in daycare centers is the lowest in Germany, according to a study.
In the canton of Schwyz (SH), history and religion/philosophy hours have been significantly reduced in upper grades. This has raised concerns about the lack of new 'homeschooling resources' for teaching small subjects.
