Zug As An Educational Space
Zug has a long tradition of education. Private schools, like the Montana Institute Zug, on Zugerberg, or the Dr. Pfister Institute AG, Oberägeri supplement the range available. In addition, there are the three former non-state teacher training colleges in Menzingen, Holy Cross in Cham and St. Michael in Zug.
The Zug education system is based on equal abilities, and is broad and diverse in its range - from compulsory primary and secondary school, through optional secondary education and vocational training. Two thirds of young people go into vocational education, connected to an apprenticeship, joining the professional world after the 9th grade of secondary school. The international business community of Zug offers many and varied apprenticeships; and the Zug technical and industrial college, GIBZ, and the business college, KBZ, provide the academic knowledge and skills.
