Furthermore, Denmark is also part of the OECD’s comparisons, “Education at a Glance”, most recently in 2013 (OECD 2013) and 2014 (OECD 2014). These compari- sons achieve a large degree of political awareness regarding for instance the correla- tion between the cost and performance of the Folkeskole compared to other countries. 2.7 Policy approaches to equity in education With the reform of 2014 a prime aim is to reduce the influence of the students’ socio- economic background on their educational performance. Thus, more attention is paid to children from socio-economically disadvantaged homes. The reform rests on an as- sumption that more and better education will be to the advantage of this group of stu- dents. One means in the reform is a proposal on homework assistance for all students. Due to disagreement among the parties at the national parliament that settled the re- form of 2014, homework assistance is voluntary in the first year of the reform (school year 2014/2015). 25 As part of the political agreement on the reform of 2014, it was decided that, after next parliamentary elections, homework assistance would be man- datory, and accordingly homework assistance will be mandatory as of the school year 2015/2016. The share of students in the Folkeskole from an immigrant background has been fairly stable over the last six years and is 10.5-10.8 per cent of the students in the Folkeskole. Download 1.6 Mb.
