Guidance at Denmark school
At school, it is the class teacher and the UU counsellor who advises pupils and parents. The UU counsellor offers personal guidance. In other words, the counsellor talks to youngsters about education and employment. The counsellor also helps pupils in 6-10th classes compile an education booklet. In the 9th and 10th classes, pupils finish their education booklets by drawing up an education plan in which they write down the education they have chosen. It is important that parents show an interest in the minds of their children during their school education. Parents can read the education booklet and the education plan, and discuss content with their children.
Counsellors know a great deal, but parents and pupils can also look into the various possibilities themselves. This can be done by searching the Internet, for example, or by visiting the various educational institutions or public libraries.
