Switzerland Secondary I Mathematics Syllabus (Years 7-9)
The Swiss education system is decentralized, with cantons having significant autonomy over their curricula. While Lehrplan 21 serves as a framework for harmonizing education across cantons, the specific learning objectives and competence levels for mathematics in years 7-9 are not readily available in a centralized, easily accessible format. This information is likely maintained at the cantonal level.
