Erziehungsdepartement is the Department of Education of Canton Basel-Stadt, Switzerland, and the largest of the canton's seven departments. It is responsible for the entire publicly funded educational offering in Basel-Stadt, spanning kindergarten through higher education, vocational training, child daycare, youth and family services, and sports programs for the entire population. The department is organized into five main divisions: Volksschulen (primary and secondary schools), Mittelschulen und Berufsbildung (secondary schools and vocational education), Hochschulen (higher education), Jugend Familie und Sport (youth, family and sports), and Zentrale Dienste (central services), with a Generalsekretariat providing planning and coordination. Mustafa Atici has served as Departementsvorsteher (Director) since May 2024.

The department employs approximately 7,000 people across more than 200 professions and operates through an extensive physical network of schools, sports facilities, youth centers, and family service offices, complemented by the cantonal ePortal (ekonto.egov.bs.ch) for digital citizen services. Notable technology initiatives include the Digitale Pruefungen (Digital Exams Project) first implemented in Spring 2024 at Basler Gymnasiums and the Fachmaturitaetsschule with full rollout across all schools in 2025, and the Edubs platform supporting digitalization in schools. The department also owns and operates the St. Jakobshalle multi-purpose venue and publishes the Basler Schulblatt professional magazine for educators.

As a cantonal government entity, Erziehungsdepartement is funded entirely through public tax revenues and annual cantonal budget allocations, with an annual budget of approximately one billion Swiss francs. It holds a statutory monopoly on public education within Basel-Stadt and participates in the Bildungsraum Nordwestschweiz inter-cantonal collaboration with Basel-Landschaft, Aargau, and Solothurn. Services are delivered directly to residents via schools, walk-in offices, career counseling centers (BIZ), digital channels, and the scholarship administration office (Amt fuer Ausbildungsbeitraege), with no commercial pricing models in operation.
