A government-backed tool designed to help struggling students regain motivation is seeing little or no use in nearly one-third of Denmark’s municipalities.
The finding comes one year after the launch of the government’s major public-school initiative. A new assessment shows that several municipalities have fallen behind in putting the scheme into practice.
SMVdanmark, the business organization behind the assessment, said municipalities had failed students and described the situation as a failure of their responsibility. Local Government Denmark, known as KL, offered a different interpretation of the problem.
They have failed in their duty.
