Zug cuts music from Curriculum 21
The Education Council of the Canton of Zug implemented Curriculum 21 on August 1, 2019, albeit with a reduction in the subject of music, among other things.
Music lessons are not to be expanded in the canton of Zug, but are to be continued at the current level. According to the canton, this makes it necessary to cut back on the Curriculum 21 template in the subject of music. In return, the Board of Education will be able to maintain a remedial lesson, which it considers to be "an important tool in the hands of the class teacher".
The canton will also incorporate its own principles of "assessment and support" into the curriculum. In addition, an elective subject "Geometric Drawing", which is not included in the curriculum, will be added, which has been advocated by the canton's trade and industry, among others.
Following the decision on the weekly timetable a year ago, the Board of Education adopted the Zug version of Curriculum 21. The current curricula will be discontinued as of July 31, 2019.
