The Danish Folkeskole is the primary education system in Denmark, catering to children aged 6 to 16. It provides a comprehensive curriculum that includes subjects like mathematics, science, languages, and arts. The Folkeskole aims to promote both academic skills and social development, ensuring that students are well-prepared for further education or the workforce. Education in the Folkeskole is free and mandatory, reflecting Denmark's commitment to equal opportunities for all children. Schools are typically organized into a 10-year program, divided into three stages: primary, lower secondary, and upper secondary. This structure helps students transition smoothly into higher education or vocational training.
