Support for Schwyz music school initiative
The Cantonal Council's Education and Culture Committee (BKK) of the Canton of Schwyz has discussed the music school initiative. Its approval was undisputed.
The music school initiative of June 30, 2021, which was submitted in the form of a general suggestion and which calls for the implementation of the national music school initiative as well as a good music school offer for all children and young people and uniform employment conditions for music school teachers, was recommended to the cantonal council for approval.
The BKK supports the proposal, the initiative should be declared valid and adopted. The canton of Schwyz should create a corresponding legal basis.
On September 23, 2012, the Swiss people approved the national federal decree on the promotion of youth music. Over 55% of the Schwyz electorate voted in favor of better youth music promotion. Despite this clear yes vote, the canton of Schwyz still lacks a cantonal legal basis for the services provided by music schools. The cantonal music school initiative calls for this to be enshrined in law.
