1 Introduction

Facts and Figures 2007 gives an overview of the Danish education system and a quantitative description of the development within most of the various fields of education.

The education system is changing continuously keeping up with new generations and new requirements from the labour market. This publication presents a series of key figures in tables and graphs showing the directions of the development. Primarily, the publication illustrates the development by Danish figures complemented by equivalent figures from selected countries.

Most of the figures presented in the publication are also shown on the web site of the Danish Ministry of Education: www.uvm.dk. More information may also be found there about the various subjects.

Key figures for education in Denmark are updated continuously, and in some cases previously published data is adjusted. For this reason, care should be taken when comparing the figures in this publication with the figures in previous publications.
