Men ikke alle unge er uddannelsesparate, hvad enten det er af faglige, personlige eller sociale årsager. Ikke alle formår at gå den lige vej.Derfor er der brug for andre og nye initiativer og uddannelsestilbud, alt efter de lokale og nationale prioriteringer. Dette kræver en dynamisk, handlekraftig, samarbejdsvillig og visionær organisation, som forstår at forenede unges ønsker og behov med samfundets overordnede målsætninger.

Med sine rødder i folkeoplysningen, sin særlige pædagogik, den fleksible rammelovgivning og det frie lærevalg er Den kommunale Ungdomsskole en væsentlig aktør i bestræbelserne på at sikre de unge uddannelse og et godt liv.

Youth schools in Denmark - an information booklet

The Danish Youth School develop skills

It’s great to be young. But it’s not always easy. Young people do not only need to sort themselves out but also each other. They must develop their skills, be educated and prepare for a good adult life.

Denmark has a goal that as many young people as possible achieve a qualifying youth education program that provides access to further education or employment. But not all young people are ready for education or training, whether it may be due to academic, personal or social reasons.

Not everyone manages to walk the straight path. This is the reason why new initiatives and training offers are needed, depending on local and national priorities. This requires a dynamic, energetic, cooperative and visionary organization that understands how to unite young people’s wants and needs with society’s overall objectives.

With its roots in popular education, its special pedagogical principles, the flexible framework law and the free choice of teachers, the municipal youth school is a major player in efforts to ensure young people a youth education and a good life.

The youth school is helping young people’s academic, personal and social skills and support their learning readiness so that as many as possible is able to complete primary school and start a youth education.

At the same time it forms the framework for a safe community and an active and stimulating leisure time.
