Omnilex-Zusammenfassung

The applicant requested a special study grant for studies abroad, arguing that the foreign program used particular teaching methods. The court held that such methods, including multimedia-supported instruction for ethnology, do not justify study abroad when equivalent training with the same professional opportunities is available in Switzerland. The request was therefore rejected under Art. 6(1)(c) LEE.

Omnilex-Regeste

LEE art. 6 para. 1 let. c; special study grant for education abroad; a foreign place of study is not justified merely because it offers different teaching methods. The decisive criterion is objective educational necessity. If the same type of instruction and comparable professional prospects are available in Switzerland, a preference for multimedia or other pedagogical means does not establish entitlement to an additional allowance for foreign study (consid. not specified).

Résumé

Des méthodes d'enseignement particulières, comme l'utilisation de supports multimédia pour des études d'ethnologie, ne sauraient motiver un déplacement à l'étranger, alors que le même type d'enseignement, offrant les mêmes possibilités professionnelles, est dispensé en Suisse.

Kernrechtsfrage

Whether a special study grant may be awarded for foreign studies based on particular teaching methods abroad despite comparable training being available in Switzerland.

Extrahierter Entscheid

No. Particular teaching methods, including multimedia-based instruction for ethnology studies, do not justify training abroad when the same type of instruction and comparable professional prospects are available in Switzerland.

Extrahierte Begründung

Under Art. 6(1)(c) LEE, the decisive point is not a preference for a different teaching format, but whether the foreign course offers an objective educational necessity. Where the same educational possibilities and professional opportunities exist in Switzerland, the foreign destination is not justified.
