Science Café: «Lower Secondary School: Between Academic Performance, Stigma, and Future Opportunities»

Real, Sek or Gymi? In Switzerland, the type of lower secondary school a child attends is not solely dependent on their abilities. Their place of residence, the selection process in the 6th grade of elementary school, and the respective school model also play a role. At the Science Café, we’ll explore the history of lower secondary education, present research findings, and discuss what makes for a good lower secondary education for everyone.
