Minister of Education and Science Minister takes on a tour to see the contexts of education. During the day they will talk with teachers and students on how the Danish education can become more flexible.

Science Minister Charlotte Sahl-Madsen and Education Tina Nedergaard visit on March 15 four different colleges in Denmark - a primary school, a vocational school, one university college and a university. Along the way, they also stop by a center of study, who ordinarily tutor young people in secondary education on the choice of higher education. Both ministers are very concerned to create better coherence in the education system and would therefore like to hear concerns from teachers, pupils and students from various types of educational institutions. "It is important to focus on the entire food chain in the education system so that students experience a natural link between education levels, for example from secondary education to higher education. There must be smooth transitions. In higher education should be more flexible for the individual students to choose subjects in relation to the job requirements, and there must be an opportunity to build on his education, if you change track - always with a focus on high professional level, "says science Minister Charlotte Sahl-Madsen. "I look forward to hearing teachers, pupils and students good ideas for how we can eliminate unnecessary barriers in the education system. It can for example be about providing better opportunities for credit, eliminate rigid admission rules and avoid the extended training that costs time and money for both society and the individual student. A coherent education is essential to reduce the dropout rate and thus meet the 95 percent target and the 50-percent target, "said education Minister Tina Nedergaard.
