 | | The Danish educational system is made up of the basic, comprehensive school, various upper secondary and vocational education courses, and a wide range of higher education programs. |
 | | Education is compulsory for nine years (ages 7 to 16) and takes place at publically provided primary and lower secondary schools (folkeskoler). |
 | | The Danish grading system is defined as the 13-point scale, which can be divided into four main groups for excellent (13, 11, 10), good (9, 8, 7), satisfactory (6), and poor performances (5, 03, 00). |
