The successful model of the dual education system in Switzerland is attracting interest worldwide. This was also the case with the Indian Embassy, which wanted to get to know the Swiss education system and in particular the dual vocational training system in more detail. According to Deepak Bansal, chargé d'affaires of the Indian Embassy “ we are interested in understanding the successful model of the Swiss education system and learn and apply the best aspects to expand the Indian education system which is in line with its New Education Policy.”

The presentation was attended by a team of five people who actively followed Purav Panchal's introduction and drew comparisons between the Indian and other education systems. In the coming weeks, an exchange with other stakeholders in the Swiss education landscape and a visit to SFUVET is planned.
