Should key school standards be coordinated nationwide?

AI-generated summary, admin reviewed: This constitutional amendment required national and regional governments to coordinate important parts of the education system. The areas included school-entry age, compulsory schooling, the duration and objectives of educational stages and nationwide recognition of qualifications. If the regions could not agree on common standards, the national government could introduce the necessary rules. Supporters argued that coordination would make it easier for students and families to move between regions and would improve national and international compatibility. Opponents feared a loss of regional control over education. Swiss voters approved the amendment by a large majority.
