“Provision of educational and vocational guidance
for pupils and students in the education system and for young people
outside education and employment is given high priority in Denmark.
In April 2003, the Danish parliament adopted a new
Act on Guidance, as a result of
which a comprehensive restructuring of guidance services in the educational
system was initiated.
[…]
The new guidance system became operational 1 August 2004.
The Ministry of Education has been responsible for the implementation of the
Danish guidance reform, and it has a controlling and coordinating role in
relation to the new guidance system.
This publication gives an overview of the key elements of the reform and the
new Danish guidance system in the educational sector. The reform is primarily
concerned with guidance services for young people.”
