In an increasingly digital world, digital literacy is becoming ever more important. Switzerland, known for its strong education system, faces the challenge of preparing its population for the demands of the digital age. Despite existing initiatives, there are significant disparities in digital education and access to technologies, particularly in rural areas. This study aims to assess the current state of digital education in Switzerland and provide recommendations for improvements.

This study uses a combination of literature review, expert interviews, and workshops to develop a comprehensive picture of digital education in Switzerland. The literature review provides theoretical foundations and identifies research gaps. The interviews with representatives from different sectors of the Swiss ecosystem offer deeper insights and valid data on challenges and best practices. Finally, a workshop captures opinions and experiences of the public to round up the research findings.

The study reveals that digital education in Switzerland is fragmented and heavily dependent on regional resources. While teacher training is crucial for imparting digital skills effectively, there remains a notable gap between perception and actual engagement in digital education. Additionally, access to technology varies significantly, particularly disadvantaging learners in rural areas. Initiatives such as "InnOlab" and public-private partnerships show promise in bridging these gaps. To address these challenges, the study recommends developing comprehensive nationwide digital education programs, fostering collaboration among various stakeholders, and implementing continuous professional development for teachers. By promoting targeted campaigns to cultivate positive attitudes towards digital technologies, Switzerland can reinforce its position as a leader in digital literacy.
