The structure of the Liechtenstein education system is similar to that of the Swiss education system. Most teachers for all school levels are trained at Swiss universities and teacher training colleges. So far, there has been a lack of precise data on education and, thus, on cultural education in Liechtenstein. The first report on education is planned for 2023.
At upper secondary schools in Liechtenstein, students can choose from five profiles, one of which is “Art, Music and Education”. But the number of students completing this profile was only 13.9 per cent in 2020. As an addition to the basic subjects, the profile subjects allow for targeted broadening and deepening in specific subject areas. The profile decision allows for greater consideration of talents. In lower secondary school, pupils are taught two lessons per week each in religion/culture and visual arts as well as one lesson in music.
Furthermore, schools and cultural institutions cooperate closely, for example with the Liechtenstein Young Theatre, the Theater am Kirchplatz, the Art Museum, the National Museum and the School of Fine Arts. This cooperation includes workshops, guided tours of exhibitions, projects, etc. – from kindergarten to upper secondary school. The Liechtenstein Music School plays an important role in this. It offers 36 subjects – for children from the age of one, adolescents as well as adults.
