Swiss Conference of Cantonal Ministers of Education

The Swiss Conference of Cantonal Ministers of Education (EDK/CDIP) is a cooperative organization where the education leaders from Switzerland's 26 cantons coordinate policies, standards, and initiatives related to schooling across the country. It ensures consistency in education quality, promotes exchange of best practices, and facilitates mutual recognition of qualifications. While each canton manages its own education system, the EDK helps harmonize curricula, teacher training, and student mobility, supporting a unified educational framework within Switzerland’s federal structure.
