School and education in Denmark
Learning is a life-long process in Denmark
General education
Denmark has a tradition of general education* which is as old as Danish democracy itself. It goes together with a belief that a well-informed population is an important prerequisite for a well-functioning society.
Everyone has access to life-long learning. Not just within the confines of the educational system but also by attending folk high school or night school*, following educational programmes on the radio or on TV, or by doing courses at work.
