2024–2033 scenarios for the education system
Student numbers expected to rise sharply in post-compulsory education by 2033
Student numbers in Switzerland are expected to increase significantly in the coming years, particularly in post-compulsory education. This is according to a new study by the Federal Statistical Office (FSO).
The study, which was published on October 25, 2024, projects that the number of students in post-compulsory education will increase by 17% between 2024 and 2033. This growth will be driven by a number of factors, including:
- The increasing population of Switzerland
- The rising number of students completing compulsory education
- The growing demand for higher education
The study also found that the number of students in compulsory education is expected to remain relatively stable over the next decade. However, there will be some changes in the distribution of students across different types of schools. For example, the number of students in secondary schools is expected to increase, while the number of students in primary schools is expected to decrease.
The FSO’s study provides valuable insights into the future of the Swiss education system. The findings of the study will be used to inform policy decisions about the allocation of resources and the provision of educational services.
Key findings of the study
- The number of students in post-compulsory education is expected to increase by 17% between 2024 and 2033.
- The growth in student numbers will be driven by a number of factors, including the increasing population of Switzerland, the rising number of students completing compulsory education, and the growing demand for higher education.
- The number of students in compulsory education is expected to remain relatively stable over the next decade.
- There will be some changes in the distribution of students across different types of schools. For example, the number of students in secondary schools is expected to increase, while the number of students in primary schools is expected to decrease.
Implications of the study
The findings of the FSO’s study have a number of implications for the Swiss education system. The most significant implication is that the system will need to be able to accommodate a growing number of students in the coming years. This will require additional resources and planning.
The study also suggests that there will be a need for more diversity in the education system. This is because the growing number of students will come from a variety of backgrounds and will have different needs. The education system will need to be able to meet the needs of all students, regardless of their background or circumstances.
Conclusion
The FSO’s study provides valuable insights into the future of the Swiss education system. The findings of the study will be used to inform policy decisions about the allocation of resources and the provision of educational services.
