Ostermundigen's Bold Education Strategy 2025–2032 Aims to Future-Proof Schools

Ostermundigen has unveiled its Education Strategy 2025–2032, a plan designed to modernise local schools. The blueprint focuses on digital skills, student involvement, and preparing pupils for future challenges. Officials will review the final version at a council meeting next month.

The strategy was first drafted in early 2025 before undergoing public consultation. In August of that year, 15 submissions were received, with respondents describing the plan as clear and forward-thinking. Feedback prompted updates in areas like student participation, core skills, and the ethical use of AI.

The revised document was presented to the Municipal Council on January 20, 2026. It outlines four main priorities: supporting students, strengthening teaching staff, improving governance, and addressing new challenges. Regular school evaluations will also become part of the system.

Final details, including timelines and key actions, will be confirmed at the School Board meeting in May 2026. The Grand Municipal Council is then expected to formally adopt the strategy on February 26, 2026.

Goals include better teaching standards, flexible work structures, and closer ties between schools and families. The plan applies to Ostermundigen's Volksschule system, though the exact number of primary schools involved remains unspecified.

The strategy will shape education in Ostermundigen for the next seven years. Once approved, schools will begin rolling out changes in teaching methods, digital tools, and student engagement. Implementation will follow the timelines set by the School Board in May.
