The FSPS:
- calls for good political, economic and legal framework conditions.
- stands up for the right to a free choice of school, from a diverse range of options.
- demands a fair funding system, with a level playing field for public and private schools alike
Successful commitment
The FSPS acts in the interests of private schools, as shown by the following examples:
- Taxes: The FSPS has successfully campaigned against a VAT obligation for private education and in favour of education-related tax deductions.
- Copyright fees: The FSPS has successfully defended itself against excessive copyright fees from ProLitteris, Swissimage and others.
- Private schools register: The FSPS co-initiated the Swiss Private School Register – the only such register that is officially recognised. The authorities are satisfied that the registered schools meet the requirements for proper education and training under the law on foreign nationals.
- Swiss Baccalaureate Commission: The FSPS acts in the interests of private schools within the Swiss Baccalaureate Commission (SBC).
