Denmark

The Danish school system is based on the concept of learning to take responsibility for your own “learning for life”. This results in teaching where students always play a very active democratic role in lessons and very often assignments are given to be solved collaboratively in groups. It also requires that the students find their information themselves, with a high level of criticism and of course, counselling by the teachers.

This way of teaching and learning has made the Danish youth a group of very involved and mature students in the way that they know that what they learn, they learn for them, and not for the teacher.  There are no school uniforms in Denmark and the dress code is quite free—also for the teachers.
