The government has agreed a new school reform with Liberal Alliance, Conservatives, Social Liberals and DPP.
The deal aims to decentralize some of the decision-making about the content of the education as the number of national learning goals are cut down from 1 081 to 215. The deal is also rolling back some of the elements of the quite disliked school reform of 2014. That previous reform introduced the so-called 'full-day school' with longer school days, where there were homework cafes etc in order to create a bigger equality by reducing the role of whether your parents could help you or not. Now school days for the youngest pupils are reduced in length, the hard target of 45 min movement a day is scrapped, the mandatory homework cafes are removed and the older pupils will be able to have more choice about selective courses or choosing junior apprenticeships at companies.
The deal also includes invesments in more physical books to cut down on the hours of screen time in classes as well as funds to improve the quality of worn-down schools. Understanding of technology is introduced as a new selective course for older pupils, and it will be a theme in other standard courses for younger pupils. School boards will get more power, more funds to get educated, and it will be possible for local companies and associations to have representatives on the board. School boards will be able to introduce grades in 6th and 7th grade if they wish.
The number of exams are reduced from 8 to 6, there will be special investments to improve those with the biggest difficulties in Danish and Math, and all pupils will have five days of mini apprenticeships in local companies in 7, 8 or 9th grade.

Shameful from a so-called left wing to support student slavery.
