KINDERGARTENS are pedagogical institutions for children below compulsory school age. Children who reach the age of one no later than by the end of August in the year a kindergarten place has been sought, are, upon application, entitled to a place in a kindergarten from August.

PRIMARY AND LOWER SECONDARY EDUCATION covers for children aged 6 to 5 and grades to. Local authorities are required to offer before and after-school care for pupils in st to 4th grade. UPPER SECONDARY EDUCATION normally provides three years of general or four years of vocational training after the -year compulsory.

TERTIARY VOCATIONAL PROGRAMMES are post-secondary, but are not defined as higher. The duration is a minimum of six months and a maximum of two years. HIGHER EDUCATION Higher is based on general admission, normally completed secondary.

ADULT EDUCATION includes adult at primary, lower secondary and upper secondary level, folk high schools, adult associations and independent distance learning institutions. Adults who have not completed sufficient primary and lower secondary are entitled to at these levels.

A study association consists of two or more voluntary organisations and offers a selection of courses, ranging from basic /training to work training and studies at university level. Study associations offer courses in most municipalities and can apply for government funding. The folk high schools are free, and are general schools that also have a clear integrative goal. Folk high schools do not have a curriculum or examinations. Folk high schools offer both short courses lasting at least two days and a maximum of 94 days, and long courses with a duration of 4- months. Web-based schools offer a high degree of flexibility as teachers and students may communicate with each other regardless of time and place. The teaching is organised as web-based tuition or combined web-based tuition and central or regional collections of students. Approved web-based schools can apply for state funding. 2
