Compulsory education consists of ten years of primary and lower secondary education, including one pre-school year (grade 0) and years (grades) 1 \u2013 9. Public school education also offers the pupils an optional year (grade) 10.<\/p>\n<p class=\"CDt4Ke zfr3Q\" dir=\"ltr\">Danish is the medium of instruction in schools. However, English is a compulsory subject in the Folkeskole (from Year 1) and in general upper secondary school. Most university-level institutions offer various courses and programmes in English.<\/p>\n<p class=\"CDt4Ke zfr3Q\" dir=\"ltr\">The academic year runs from August\/September to June.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/agora.xtec.cat\/insgurb\/wp-content\/uploads\/usu1744\/2023\/10\/danish_education_system.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5198 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/agora.xtec.cat\/insgurb\/wp-content\/uploads\/usu1744\/2023\/10\/danish_education_system.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"446\" height=\"489\" srcset=\"https:\/\/agora.xtec.cat\/insgurb\/wp-content\/uploads\/usu1744\/2023\/10\/danish_education_system.png 1280w, https:\/\/agora.xtec.cat\/insgurb\/wp-content\/uploads\/usu1744\/2023\/10\/danish_education_system-274x300.png 274w, https:\/\/agora.xtec.cat\/insgurb\/wp-content\/uploads\/usu1744\/2023\/10\/danish_education_system-934x1024.png 934w, https:\/\/agora.xtec.cat\/insgurb\/wp-content\/uploads\/usu1744\/2023\/10\/danish_education_system-768x842.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 446px) 100vw, 446px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"CDt4Ke zfr3Q\" dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Overall regulation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"CDt4Ke zfr3Q\" dir=\"ltr\">The education system is financed by the state and the municipalities. Some institutions, including the upper secondary education institutions, are independent and self-governing, while others are owned by the state or the municipalities.<\/p>\n<p class=\"CDt4Ke zfr3Q\" dir=\"ltr\">National legislation covers the aims and framework of education, funding and in some cases curricula, examinations and staffing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"CDt4Ke zfr3Q\" dir=\"ltr\">The Ministry of Children and Education is responsible for setting up the framework for curricula at primary and secondary level. However, the contents of the courses are finalised by the teachers themselves, with their pupils. The Ministry of Children and Education oversees the municipal primary and lower secondary school (&#8220;Folkeskole&#8221;) in collaboration with the municipal councils.<\/p>\n<p class=\"CDt4Ke zfr3Q\" dir=\"ltr\">In the field of vocational education and training, sectoral committees with equal representation of the labour market organisations concerned play an important role in defining and developing vocational qualifications and stipulating the training conditions. Technical colleges and business colleges are independent institutions under the overall authority of the Ministry of Children and Education.<\/p>\n<p class=\"CDt4Ke zfr3Q\" dir=\"ltr\">The Ministry of Higher Education and Science is largely responsible for higher education. Some of the higher education programmes within the arts fall under the responsibility of the Ministry of Culture, e.g. the schools of visual arts and the academies of music. Specialised education programmes within the Danish Defence are managed by the Ministry of Defence.<\/p>\n<div class=\"CjVfdc\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"CDt4Ke zfr3Q\" dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Institutional autonomy<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"CDt4Ke zfr3Q\" dir=\"ltr\">Institutions of higher education in Denmark have a long tradition of academic freedom and autonomy. The ministries lay down the overall regulations for all institutions of higher education. These include regulations concerning the admission of students, the structure of studies, programmes offered, awarding of degrees and appointment of teachers and academic staff.<\/p>\n<p class=\"CDt4Ke zfr3Q\" dir=\"ltr\">The individual institutions draw up and update their study programmes, indicating the aims, scope and duration, form and contents of the courses, as well as a description of the syllabus.<\/p>\n<div class=\"CjVfdc\">\n<div class=\"PPhIP rviiZ\">\n<div class=\"U26fgb mUbCce fKz7Od LRAOtb Znu9nd M9Bg4d\" role=\"presentation\" aria-describedby=\"h.fzm3q9dobmni_l\" aria-label=\"Copiar el v\u00ednculo del encabezado\" aria-disabled=\"false\" data-tooltip=\"Copiar el v\u00ednculo del encabezado\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-tooltip-position=\"top\" data-tooltip-vertical-offset=\"12\" data-tooltip-horizontal-offset=\"0\">\n<div class=\"VTBa7b MbhUzd\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"CDt4Ke zfr3Q\" dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Financing and ownership <\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"CDt4Ke zfr3Q\" dir=\"ltr\">The education system is financed by the state and the municipalities. Some institutions are self-governing, while others are owned by the state or the municipalities. The table below illustrates the main sources of funding and forms of ownership for selected groups of institutions. In addition to public financing, tuition fees are charged at private schools, and there is typically a user\u2019s fee for a number of adult education and training programmes provided by educational institutions and adult education and training centres.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Diary of our visit<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><strong>Monday, 10th October 2022<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On Monday we travelled from Barcelona to Copenhagen by plane.

You can read about our main conclusions in the following lines:<\/p>\n<p class=\"CDt4Ke zfr3Q\" dir=\"ltr\">It was shocking for us to see that the teachers are not focused on assessment. When we observed different classes and projects and asked about assessment, the answer was always that they hadn&#8217;t thought about it. So our conclusion is that we are more aware of assessment than Danish teachers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"CDt4Ke zfr3Q\" dir=\"ltr\">We were also impressed about the system they have to hire teachers. The headmasters can choose the teachers that work in the public schools, so one of their jobs is to look for teachers and convice them to work with them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"CDt4Ke zfr3Q\" dir=\"ltr\">Comparing the two schools, we also see that we care a lot more about mentoring. We use mentors to take care about the students, and to orientate them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"CDt4Ke zfr3Q\" dir=\"ltr\">Another big difference is the amount of resources we have. It is evident that the Danish education system has more resources (more teachers, more space in the buildings, more teaching resources, etc.).<\/p>\n<p class=\"CDt4Ke zfr3Q\" dir=\"ltr\">Apart from all this, we saw some things that surprised us positively:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"n8H08c UVNKR\">\n<li class=\"TYR86d zfr3Q\" dir=\"ltr\">\n<p class=\"CDt4Ke zfr3Q\" dir=\"ltr\">They have the figure of pedagogs, who are in the classrooms working together with teachers. For every two classes of about 25 students each they have two teachers and one pedagog.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"TYR86d zfr3Q\" dir=\"ltr\">\n<p class=\"CDt4Ke zfr3Q\" dir=\"ltr\">Schools do not have fences, so they are completely open to the street.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"TYR86d zfr3Q\" dir=\"ltr\">\n<p class=\"CDt4Ke zfr3Q\" dir=\"ltr\">The Erasmus+ projects are coordinated by the municipalities, not the schools. We liked this idea, because preparing an Erasmus+ mobility is a lot of work for the schools.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"TYR86d zfr3Q\" dir=\"ltr\">\n<p class=\"CDt4Ke zfr3Q\" dir=\"ltr\">There are groups of schools who are focused on one same thing. An example is the LEAPS (Learning and Engagement through Authentic Projects with a focus on Science).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"TYR86d zfr3Q\" dir=\"ltr\">\n<p class=\"CDt4Ke zfr3Q\" dir=\"ltr\">We discovered a new methodology which we liked very much. We are talking about the thinking classrooms. When using this method, they do not use books, notebooks, chairs or desks. They work in groups and they use whiteboards. They are presented different challenges that they have to solve by thinking.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/agora.xtec.cat\/insgurb\/wp-content\/uploads\/usu1744\/2023\/10\/IMG-20221013-WA0007-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5206 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/agora.xtec.cat\/insgurb\/wp-content\/uploads\/usu1744\/2023\/10\/IMG-20221013-WA0007-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"454\" height=\"454\" srcset=\"https:\/\/agora.xtec.cat\/insgurb\/wp-content\/uploads\/usu1744\/2023\/10\/IMG-20221013-WA0007-1.jpg 900w, https:\/\/agora.xtec.cat\/insgurb\/wp-content\/uploads\/usu1744\/2023\/10\/IMG-20221013-WA0007-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/agora.xtec.cat\/insgurb\/wp-content\/uploads\/usu1744\/2023\/10\/IMG-20221013-WA0007-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/agora.xtec.cat\/insgurb\/wp-content\/uploads\/usu1744\/2023\/10\/IMG-20221013-WA0007-1-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 454px) 100vw, 454px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/agora.xtec.cat\/insgurb\/wp-content\/uploads\/usu1744\/2023\/10\/erasmus_en-1030x461-1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-5230\" src=\"https:\/\/agora.xtec.cat\/insgurb\/wp-content\/uploads\/usu1744\/2023\/10\/erasmus_en-1030x461-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"52\" srcset=\"https:\/\/agora.xtec.cat\/insgurb\/wp-content\/uploads\/usu1744\/2023\/10\/erasmus_en-1030x461-1.png 993w, https:\/\/agora.xtec.cat\/insgurb\/wp-content\/uploads\/usu1744\/2023\/10\/erasmus_en-1030x461-1-300x62.png 300w, https:\/\/agora.xtec.cat\/insgurb\/wp-content\/uploads\/usu1744\/2023\/10\/erasmus_en-1030x461-1-768x159.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/>\u00a0\u00a0 <\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sepie.es\/index.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-5223\" src=\"https:\/\/agora.xtec.cat\/insgurb\/wp-content\/uploads\/usu1744\/2023\/10\/SEPIE_erasmus_plus.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"143\" height=\"53\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Back again<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/agora.xtec.cat\/insgurb\/wp-content\/uploads\/usu1744\/2023\/10\/IMG-20221011-WA0013-1.jpg\"><\/a><br \/>\nHi!
