- Primary level (incl. Kindergarten or first learning cycle) and lower secondary level
The Federal Constitution (articles 19 and 62) guarantees that the cantons provide for adequate compulsory education, which is available to all children, and which is free of charge at public schools. The cantons are responsible for regulation and supervision of compulsory education. The municipalities are providers of primary schools. Lower secondary schools can also be run by the canton.
