SWISS ACADEMIES COMMUNICATIONS, VOL. 12, NO 6, 2017
In der Schweiz gibt es zu wenig Fachkräfte in den Bereichen Technik und Informatik. Um Abhilfe zu schaffen, werden MINT-Fächer (Mathematik, Informatik, Naturwissenschaften, Technik) vermehrt gefördert. Die Leitungsgruppe MINT der Akademien der Wissenschaften Schweiz hat deshalb ihre Erkenntnisse zusammengestellt, und gibt Empfehlungen für ausserschulische Lernorte, Familien und Betreuung, den schulischen Unterricht, die Berufsberatung, für Unternehmen, die tertiäre Bildung sowie die Medien. Mit Ihrer Übersicht und Analyse des bestehenden Angebots, Stand 31.12.2016, zeigt sie auch Lücken im Angebot auf.

All-day childcare and schooling
This report analyses the attitudes of parents in Switzerland regarding all-day childcare, based on data collected from an online panel of 2,161 parents. Providing high-quality childcare is essential for child development, equal educational opportunities, and increasing female participation in the workforce, all of which contribute to Switzerland’s economic sustainability. The analyses presented in this report are based on primary data covering various aspects of general parental attitudes towards all-day schooling, contrasted with specific views on the own family. They differentiated between German- and French-speaking parents to shed more light on potential regional differences.

As part of ALLEA’s longstanding commitment to research integrity, it emphasises the need for policymakers, academic institutions and funding bodies to adopt clear guidelines for collaborations with industry partners. The key considerations concern: preserving academic independence, ensuring transparency and accountability, managing conflicts of interest and aligning research with the public interest.
