What do you think of the educational model in Denmark? Education in Denmark is based on "lifelong learning", so all ages have relevant education and training.
Many Danes are studying from birth to burial.
They often study not for exams, but to enrich themselves.
Therefore, Danish kindergarten and primary education is not as high-pressure as China.
They advocate cultivating children's interest in learning and experiencing happiness in their growth; Learn knowledge in the game.
This is the difference in educational ideas. The education received from childhood is to study hard, go to a good university and find a good job in the future.
Denmark, on the other hand, needs to cultivate lifelong learning talents. Learning is a part of your life, a long-term process, and you don't need to exhaust resources to go fishing.

Vuggestue-nursery:
I am used to translating it into: nursery. Generally, children aged 0-3 will go to the nursery.
Most parents will let their children go to kindergarten around 1 year old.
There are 10- 15 children in each class, and special teachers take care of them.
Each teacher looks after 4-5 children. This stage is mainly to take care of the children's diet and daily life.
Teachers can sing children's songs and teach them to climb obstacles, read books and dance. Every week the teacher will take them out to play.

Dagpleje–day care:
This is similar to the nursery above, but it is another form of nursery in Denmark.
An experienced teacher takes care of 3-5 children in his own home.
The Danish government also has requirements for teachers and family facilities, and many Danes like this kind of care.
This kind of nursery is the same as above, and teachers should focus on cultivating children:
All-round development as a child
Social skills
language
athletic ability
knowledge of nature
Culture and values

b？ Rn ehea- preschool education:
Kindergartens in Denmark generally start at the age of 2, 10 months, and continue to school age, usually 6 years old.
In Danish kindergartens, children mainly receive the following training:
Make friends. After the age of 2, children start to play together, and the kindergarten will make the first friend of the same age in life.
Sports skills, various climbing facilities in kindergarten, let children improve their sports ability.
To be independent, we must gradually adapt to life without parents.
Establish contact with adults and gradually accept the guidance of teachers.
Do your own thing.
For example, every day at lunch, children need to wash their hands by themselves, and then sit still and wait for food. And eat it within the specified time.
Sometimes teachers will take kindergarten children to zoos, farms, museums, nursing homes and so on.
There may also be all-night activities or weekend camping to broaden children's horizons.
At this stage, the cooperation of parents is also very important. It is necessary to be consistent with kindergarten teachers and let children develop good habits.

Danish primary schools and junior high schools are linked together, and most Danish children start their studies in public schools. Public schools are completely free, and at least 10 years of compulsory education must be completed.
But there are other students who choose other schools (Frigrundskoler) (religious schools or private schools), international schools and so on.
The government also provides educational subsidies to private schools, and they can spend a small amount of money on private schools.
Danish primary schools are divided into three stages:
Preschool to third grade
Intermediate stage, from grade 4 to grade 6.
Junior high school, grade seven to grade nine.
I will introduce them one by one.
If children from other countries immigrate to Denmark, they need to attend the reception class first.

Modtagelseklasser- receiving class:
I will translate it into "language school" for the time being, mainly for children who moved to Denmark at the age of 6-17.
Their Danish is not proficient enough to keep up with traditional schools. You need to improve your Danish first.
Therefore, in language schools, the main purpose is to improve children's Danish level. When their language level meets the requirements, they will transfer to ordinary classes and take classes with others.
Of course, during this period, other subjects will be made up according to the age of the child.
