Compulsory education in Denmark
Denmark has a policy of nine years' compulsory education. Children are to be taught from the age of seven. Most children, however, start in a pre-school class when they are six.
Most people continue their studies after the nine years of compulsory education.
After nine years of primary and lower secondary school, it is up to the individual to decide whether they want pursue further education. Having said this, there are fewer and fewer jobs for people without an education so the vast majority of young people take a business education or upper secondary education. Followed by a short-, medium- or long-term period of further study.
