Abstract
The Danish school system is divided into two sub-systems that function as two separate systems with regard to governance and teacher recruitment. Pupils between 7 and 16 years of age are taught in the Folkeskole (primary and lower secondary education), a 9 or 10-year compulsory school, whereas the non-vocational teaching of the 16–19 year olds (upper secondary education) is provided by the three year high school/grammar school called the Gymnasium that admits just under 30 percent of a cohort (approximate-ly 20,000 students). Instruction in the Gymnasium provides both further education and general education. The teachers hold university degrees, usually in two subjects, the levels of which correspond to a master’s degree.
