You did a really cool path. I'm right now doing a Kaufmann EFZ with the maturität in Genève. I'm planning on doing the FH (work and study) once I get my EFZ and Matu diplomas. A passerelle isn't out of my plans, but I'm thinking on studying Wirtschaftsinformatiker/in FH so that I can stick to my area and study what I love IT. Honestly, I think that the swiss educational system may be one of the best on the world. It doesn't leave nobody unless they want to be left. You have so many options to study and differently from other countries the apprenticeship is considered a very good path.
man, school in Ch isn't bad at all, but looking back at my decision of NOT doing school and working at 15 made me discover my passion. Yes I would be earning 6/7K CHF a month but I would be stuck and surely not as happy as I am in Italy. I love Ch, but it's just so stressful with work and all that. (I now work in TI, but I lived my 21 years, happily in Italy, working on my own projects and not thinking about work.
I want to visit Switzerland in january 2022 can you recommend for me some places to visit ? Me personaly I want to go in Basel, Lauterbrunnen, Gstaad and Zermatt.
As a Swiss person in Basel i’m thinking of doing a lehre in the Banking industry especially finance and with the use of Computers thanks for the Video but with the Groups it’s P E A P highest A Lowest and i’ll love to work in the banking industry and discovering my passion thank you for showing me this video and a quick overview of the Swiss/ Basel Education System where I am
Guten Morgen! Thank you for this informative video! I have a question: We plan to move to Canton de Vaud next year. We are French Canadians but have lived in the USA for 8 years. Our son will be 14 (grade 10). His French level is B1 (tested at his international school). What would be his options? What kind of placement test will he have to take? He is a high achiever and loves science. Thank you so much!
If he is 14 then he can either go to the „sek“ for one year and then do the short term gymnasium, or he can directly go to the gymnasium. He is required to take an entrance exam either way. His french doesnt matter too much as long as he can compensate with different subjects! And if he prefers to work hands on then you might want to take a look at technical apprenticeships.
I think the education system of Switzerland is still nowhere nearly as good as the english academic system, because the students are way too young for gaining hands-on experience at worklife and some even go through bad times during apprenticeship to develop mentl illness. The A-Level education has a direct interplay with students preparation to the worklife as well as mental preparation. In UK most students are not restricted to obtain an A-Level wheraes in Switzerland within the dual-system, the students are going through a ceratain selection process of their respective canton where they reside, as the scholarship are ought to be on limitations for budgeting across "the best ones" . Therefore, the accessibilty is highly restricted in comparison, as we in UK have more than 55% students who pursue an undergraduate degree at young around 18 to 20 and thus we are far ahead with it.
@@tomboss9940 There's alot of propaganda here and there. This system was experimented some while ago and the youths are increasingly not prepared well enough psychologically in order to be integrated into industrial environments. A college education is paramount to reach a stage of maturity. While clearly a working-class education seems to be relatively effacious there, the notion however, is on a sharp decline. As much as you chose not to believe it, the academic education and alikes are often a priority to most countries and a bedrock foundation for many industrial integration, as The regressive youth and Gen Z problem is upon it a great reflection already also in Switzerland.

You're doing a great work Man.
Personnaly, I'm from Geneva, and going to school in Geneva, damn this is the same country but, EVEN here, it's really different !

I'm so stupid. There's so many paths to go down educationally.
Can I join free school as an adult?
I don't think so
By finding an apprenticeship in a company you can. It is pretty common to have adults doing apprenticeships.
Not "gym".
The most interesting video I saw this morning!
Is there a similar video on the healthcare system?
You make the confusing chart seem simple
I want to visit Switzerland in january 2022 can you recommend for me some places to visit ? Me personaly I want to go in Basel, Lauterbrunnen, Gstaad and Zermatt.
Bern
Bern for sure. Luzern has an amazing bridge that's pretty cool.
Grindelwald also magnificent place, Also i recommend Geneve lake

I wish we had apprenticeship programs that are similar to the Swiss model in the USA.
very interesting. you forgot to mention that with certain HF-Diplomas and so on u can even switch to a shortened bachelor in the "FH"-section
Your journey is really amazing. Thank you for sharing.

Switzerland think it's more important to have very well educated and trained workers than to have as many jobless academics as possible.
