Government wants to continue affordable education for adults
Education vouchers give adults with insufficient basic skills access to various courses. The program is set to continue until 2028.
According to federal estimates, around 10 percent of the adult population in Switzerland find it difficult to read and understand texts, write their own texts, handle numbers or use a computer. For people who do not have these basic skills, everyday life and the world of work can quickly become a major challenge. A needs analysis in 2023 has shown that there is also a need for action in the canton of Obwalden. The canton of Obwalden wrote this in a press release.
