The payment must not exceed 25 per cent of the gross operating costs for the individual day care facility or of the average gross operating costs for operating similar day care facilities in the local authority (The Ministry of Children, Gender Equality, Integration and Social Affairs). In 2014, the average parental payment for day care for 0-2 years olds were 3,096 DKK per child per month, while it was 2,063 DKK per 3-5 year old child per month on av- erage. Transition to primary and lower secondary school The law states that day care facilities, parents and schools have a responsibility to en- sure a successful transition from day care to lower and primary education. The law states that day care facilities, in cooperation with the parents, must work to ensure a good transition to school by developing and supporting basic skills and the desire to learn. The law also states that the schools have a responsibility to cooperate with the pre-primary educational day care facilities to create a coherent transition to school and leisure activities (Ministeriet for Børn, Ligestilling, Integration og Sociale Forhold). 169 Appendix 3: Upper secondary and vocational school resources In Denmark, youth education is split into two tracks, which include general upper sec- ondary education and the initial vocational education and training (IVET). Since the mid-1990s, a political goal has been to increase the percentage of a youth cohort that completes upper secondary or vocational education. In order to reach a goal of 95 per cent of a youth cohort completing youth education, incentives for increased completion rates and decreased dropout rates have been implemented at school level. In general, this means that resources from the national to the local level (schools) are distributed according to the number of students enrolled in and completing an upper secondary or vocational programme at the individual school or college. A recent estimation shows that 92 per cent of the cohort who completed primary and lower secondary education in 2011 will complete upper secondary or vocational educa- tion within a period of 25 years (UVM 2015). In 2010, the completion rate for general upper secondary education was 86 per cent. In IVET, the completion rate was 54 per cent in 2010 (UVM 2012: 8). For several decades, the IVET system has been chal- lenged by low completion rates, which in part are due to a lack of apprenticeship plac- es necessary for students’ to be able to complete. A national reform of the IVET sys- tem to be implemented in 2015 has a specific focus on apprenticeship places for in- company training. The reform agreement of this reform establishes four overall objec- tives for vocational education and training (VET). The four objectives will be translat- ed into measurable result targets for monitoring the development of VETs at the cen- tral level and the school level 58 . Download 1.6 Mb.
