Accessibility to Education
Equal access to education for all is a fundamental principle in Danish education policy. We do have a number of opportunities to also include people with functional disabilities in the school system. Here you will find essential information about the Danish education system, with a particular focus on accessibility to education for children, young people and adults with functional disabilities.
This English version summarizes the main points of information and provides a more detailed overview of specific support services for students from abroad.
The site also provides a number of useful links to relevant educational institutions, knowledge centres and user organisations.
