Private educational institutions in Switzerland are generally costly so that most children go to public institutions, which include, kindergarten, Volksschule, Gymnasium (secondary school), and Universities (universities).

Each child must at least be at least at a mandatory elementary school in Switzerland. The country offers many schools at different levels. Since the cantons/counties for the educational system, names subject to subjects, the initial age of students, and duration varies significantly between the cantons.

Pre-school (kindergarten): one or two years

Volkschule (elementary school): Volkschule is required for all Swiss children. You must visit the public or go to private institutions aged from seven years to at least eight years, but usually nine years.

Berufslehre (Apprenticeship): Most of the children begin vocational education after primary school. Apprenticeships take two to four years, based on the profession. Apprenticeships cover all sorts of specialties, from craftsmen (machinist, carpenter, baker, hairstylist, etc.) to office employees (secretary, book-keeper, IT specialist, etc.).

Gymnasium (Secondary school): There are multiple kinds of Gymnastics with various prominences and major subjects. There are eleven universities (universities) to study in Switzerland, nine of which are operated by a canton/county two by a confederation. In general, the universities run by the counties provide non-technical topics, while the universities run by the federation deliver technical subjects.

Education is now divided into two parts, equivalent to an education in the USA:

• a Bachelor’s degree (three years)
• Master’s degree (one and a half or two years).

When an ETH engineer (graduated from one of the Swiss Federal Institutes of Technology) has a stronger theoretical background, an FH engineer (graduated from one of the technical colleges) usually has more practical experience because he or she has completed a four-year Traineeship. The duration of the study is three to four years.
