Swiss Education Report 2026: What the data means for STEM promotion and equal opportunities
Every three years, the Swiss Coordination Centre for Research in Education publishes the Swiss Education Report. This provides a comprehensive overview of the entire Swiss education system, from pre-school to continuing education. The fifth report of this kind was published on 23 March 2026 and serves the Confederation and cantons as a knowledge base for managing the education system and formulating common education policy goals. In this interview, Edith Schnapper, Head of Promotion of Young Talent at the SATW, explains what the report shows for the STEM sector and why targeted promotion is only effective if it starts early, is designed interactively and takes structural barriers into account.
