School law
School law governs the organisation of education, pupils’ rights and duties, school authorities, access, supervision and remedies in education matters.
In Switzerland, school law is shaped mainly by cantonal legislation, with federal constitutional guarantees such as equal treatment, protection of children and the right to sufficient basic education setting limits. It covers public schooling, private schools, teacher and school authority powers, assessment, promotion, discipline, special needs support, data processing and parental participation. Because competences differ by canton and municipality, practical questions often turn on local school acts, ordinances and appeal procedures.
