Kirchleerau
Kirchleerau is a municipality in the district of Zofingen in the canton of Aargau in Switzerland. History Kirchleerau is first mentioned in 1248 as ''Lerowe''. Finds of bricks and wall remains indicate that the area was already inhabited by the Romans. The first documented mention of Lerowe is for the year 1248, the name Kylchleren appeared for the first time in 1306 in the Habsburg Urbar. The name comes from the Old High German lewirouwo, which means "by the land of the graves near the water". In the Middle Ages the village was in the domain of the Counts of Lenzburg, later the Counts of Kyburg. After these had died out, the Habsburgs took over the sovereignty and the blood jurisdiction in 1273. In 1415 the Confederates conquered Aargau.

Moosleerau is a municipality in the district of Zofingen in the canton of Aargau in Switzerland. History Moosleerau is first mentioned in 1243 as ''Moslerovwa''. In 1306 the high court right was held by the Habsburgs. Following the conquest of the Aargau in 1415, the high court right went to Bern. In 1803, after the Act of Mediation created the modern Canton of Aargau, Moosleerau became a municipality in the new Canton. Moosleerau belongs to the parish of Kirchleerau. In the 18th Century the village was in the catchment area for the textile industry in Aarau and Zofingen. Several attempts to connect the village to the Suren Valley Railway in the 19th and 20th Centuries failed. Since 1971, the Schöftland-Sursee bus line has reached the municipality. The population decline after 1850 was due to little industrialization in the Suhre River Valley. The population remained stable until World War II when it began to increase.

History Oberkulm is first mentioned in 1045 as ''Chulenbare'', though this is for both Oberkulm and Unterkulm. In 1295 Oberkulm, individually, was mentioned as ''Obern Chulnbe''.

Green Party Of Switzerland
The Green Party of Switzerland (german: GRÜNE Schweiz; french: Les VERT-E-S suisses; it, VERDI svizzeri; rm, VERDA svizra) is the fourth-largest party in the National Council of Switzerland and the largest party that is not represented on the Federal Council. History The first Green party in Switzerland was founded as a local party in 1971 in the town of Neuchâtel. In 1979, Daniel Brélaz was elected to the National Council as the first Green MP on the national level (in Switzerland and in the world). Local and regional Green parties and organisations were founded in many different towns and cantons in the following years.

Education In Switzerland
The education system in Switzerland is very diverse, because the constitution of Switzerland delegates the authority for the school system mainly to the cantons. The Swiss constitution sets the foundations, namely that primary school is obligatory for every child and is free in state schools and that the confederation can run or support universities. The minimum age for primary school is about six years in all cantons but Obwalden, where it is five years and three months. After primary schools, the pupils split up according to their abilities and intentions of career paths. Roughly 25% of all students attend lower and upper secondary schools leading, normally after 12 school years in total to the federal recognized matura or an academic Baccalaureate which grants access to all universities. The other students split in two or more school-types, depending on the canton, differing in the balance between theoretical and practical education. It is obligatory for all children to atte ...
