35 proposals to reform the public school system

-

  • A new subject on the school timetable called “Education and jobs” during which the students will do an internship; 
  • 30 minutes less per week of schooling – 190 hours in total from kindergarten to 9th grade; 
  • Twice as many “electives” and a broader choice of practical electives like needlework, food science, coding and robotics; 
  • History becomes an “elective” subject and only Danish and Mathematics remain as mandatory subjects; 
  • More freedom to the teachers and school leaders – 90% of the requirements will be removed; 
  • More influence for the parents on the “skolebestyrelsen” (school board) to decide on f.ex. if there should be 45 minutes of mandatory sports per day or if there should be homework support at school. 
  • 8th and 9th graders should get the option to spend 2 days per week doing an internship at a company instead of going to school. They could also choose to go 2 days per week at a vocational school where they can learn a trade. 
  • 2.6 billion DKK investment in better laboratories, workshops, and other rooms where practical electives can be held. 
  • The school boards should be extended to include representatives of local businesses or local associations.
