Abstract	The two parts of this report on primary education in Switzerland (comprising the first through 9th school years) provide an overview of the organization of schooling and a description of educational trends and reforms. Part I describes official objectives of primary education; units responsible at national, regional, local, and school levels; transition from preschool to elementary and elementary to lower-secondary education; statistics on pupils and teachers; divisions and composition of classes; length of the school day, week, and year; main branches in the curriculum; pupil assessment; training of teachers; para-educational services; and institutionalized contacts between schools, families, and municipalities. Part II describes reforms in specific subjects, assessment, transition, and curriculum; and the Situation in Primary Schools (SIPRI) review. Concluding material recapitulates the 22 theses developed in the final report of the SIPRI project. Brief profiles of two other Swiss educational projects are included. (RH)
