About us

In the field of education, we establish guidelines for municipal schools, considering inter-cantonal school coordination efforts. We also manage the following educational institutes and programs:

Zug University of Teacher Education
Zug Cantonal school KSZ (secondary school)
Menzingen Cantonal school KSM (secondary school)
Vocational middle school FMS
Zug Business school WMS (at the Zug Cantonal School)
Media center for teachers at all levels (Didactic Centre)

We provide education grants (scholarships, loans and school fees). Young people and adults can seek guidance on career and course selection, and career planning. We also support institutions that offer general further training (adult education).

We support and recognize artists in the cultural sphere with awards. Furthermore, we foster cultural initiatives and manage the Museum of Prehistory.
