The state bears the main responsibility for schools and education in Liechtenstein. It is the largest promoter of art and culture and sets the framework conditions for cultural education. The responsibility is shared by three ministries (see 1.2.2): The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is responsible for cultural events at Liechtenstein embassies. The Ministry of Social Affairs and Culture is responsible for the social, societal and cultural policy of the Principality of Liechtenstein. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Education and Sport is responsible for the Liechtenstein education system with respect to early education, schools, adult education and research, as well as the School of Fine Arts and the Music School.
The Liechtenstein Letter on Culture of July 2011 refers to three points of artistic and cultural education: the importance of the cultural institutions, cultural associations, cultural creators and those responsible for cultural policy. Secondly, children, young people and adults, that is, everyone, should have access to cultural and artistic education. And thirdly, points one and two contribute significantly to cultural participation as well as to strengthening creativity and the desire to innovate.
