Pupils' absence to be down
- There is no doubt that it is not least the students in a period very absence of major risk of discontinuing their education. It is a shame, and I will now take action against it. Much can be solved by committed teachers, better teaching and due diligence from the management of educational institutions. But I am therefore also have to say that when we get out of school, so the young people themselves responsible. Denmark has become the great country it is, because people for generations have stood up and gone to work - or school - when the alarm clock rings. Man fails not only their own professional development, but also the community at too many times to turn around on the other hand, says Tina Nedergaard. The good habits need to be in primary school, and here appeal the Minister of Education to parents. - I work with the parties behind the primary settlement stone hard to offer our children a good school. But I am dependent on the parents teaches students the respect for teachers, homework and meeting times that are the foundation for maintaining Primary school as one of the world's best, says Tina Nedergaard, which therefore puts 40 million kroner for action to combat absenteeism . It will among others consist of a debate-TV campaign, focusing on just the responsibility of parents. But also the individual municipal councils will be asked to focus on absences as a special focus in their quality reports. In addition, reduction of absence enter into performance contracts for managers at educational institutions. - The government is serious when it says that more young people to be trained as possible. It is important for every human being as well educated as possible. But we socioeconomic not afford not to. Therefore, I put all the stops, says Tina Nedergaard. Source: Ministry of Education
