Industrial development, hitherto slowed in Denmark owing to the lack of raw materials for heavy industry, was aided by the growing demand for equipment in the food-processing industries, and by the end of the 19th century, numerous industrial items were being produced.

 Education in Denmark - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Danish education system has its origin in the cathedral- and monastery schools established by the Roman Catholic Church in the early Middle Ages, and seven of the schools established in the 12th and 13th centuries still exist today.
This educational base was maintained nearly unchanged until 1809, when the old Clergyman's School was transformed in accordance with the spirit of the time into a humanistic Civil Servant's School which was to "foster true humanity" through immersion in the ancient Greek and Latin cultures combined with some teaching of natural science and modern languages.
In 1871, the scientific and technical development of the 19th century led to a division of the education into two lines: the languages and the mathematics-science line.

 Big Students' Demonstrations in Denmark on February 7
Many schools in Denmark are in a very bad shape, and the whole education system has been neglected for several years and various cuts have been carried out.
This would mean big problems for the whole of the education system, and even the complete closing down of some schools and colleges.
It is clear that the deal between the government and the Danish People's Party was not at all a salvation of the education system and the postponing of some of the worst cuts was certainly not due to the Danish People's Party - it was a result of the developing opposition among the youth.
