Denmark High School educational system is divided into three parts gymnasium,technical schools and business schools. The compulsory subjects for the students are Danish Language and Literature,history and foreign languages. The students have to attend high school based on the their essential qualifications and according to the availability of seats. The students have the choice of various optional subjects as well and the scope for embarking on an educational tour of Europe. Various kinds of cultural exploration trips are also organized to give the students a n experience of practical training.
Another interesting aspect of Denmark High school is the Danish Folk High School which started in the nineteenth century and is well distributed throughout the Danish countryside. The Danish Folk High School is home to the following aspects of education:
- A rural woman comes there with her young son to paint a model of pottery.
- The boy also engages in some activity by playing soccer and also does a little bit of wall painting.
- Some rectification programs are undertaken to prevent alcohol and drug habits.
A Danish Folk school is different in the sense that there are no gradation structures and marking given to the students, so the question of competition does nor arise. It is not actually a part of the Danish educational system in general but 85% of the funding comes from the state. So the Denmark High school is a mix of both the forms discussed above.
