In Geneva, the announced end of the schooling of border students in the canton takes on a legal and political turn. A collective of families launches two appeals against this measure and wants to carry the file before the Grand Council.
(Keystone-ATS) The two appeals will be filed before the Constitutional Chamber of Court of Justice, said on Monday before the press Anthony Lehmann, on behalf of the collective “School for all”. The appeals relate in particular to the disproportion of the measure and to the violation of the right to a basic education.
The collective also counts on a socialist motion, which could be debated next week on the Grand Council, so that the Council of State returns to its decision. This text requires that children already engaged in the Geneva school system can finish their studies there.
The decision to educate the students at their place of domicile dates from 2018, but was accompanied by a transitional provision. The executive decided in June to put an end to this transitional regime from the start of the 2026 school year.
