How are students with special needs integrated into regular classes?
How does the canton of Zurich manage to offer a high-quality dual education system?
How does school social work work at the different school levels?
These were some of the questions that our Viennese delegation asked the educational experts from the primary and secondary schools of the Canton of Zurich and the teacher training university, PH Zurich. The three-day visit from 15 to 17 January 2024 was found to be very enriching by the educational department of the Vienna Board of Education and it was partly surprising how different Vienna and Zurich – despite being quite similar countries – are in many respects, especially in the area of education. In this way, everybody sharpened the views on what could be improved and preserved. At the end, everyone said goodbye with a full bag of ideas and future project submissions to Movetia, the Swiss agency for exchange and mobility.
