The debate over cross-border students in Geneva schools took another turn in the Grand Council.
Lawmakers approved a compromise allowing around one thousand already-enrolled pupils to complete their education. Children in primary school, roughly ages six to twelve, could stay through the end of primary, while those in lower secondary, around ages twelve to fifteen, would be allowed to finish their upper secondary diploma.
Supporters described the measure as a balance between cost savings and educational continuity.
Opponents warned it could damage cross-border relations for what they called minimal financial gains.
