TEACHER TRAINING

The information on this page is currently being reviewed. We will update the page soon.

In the regulations governing special education, it is laid down which qualifications are required from the educators and teachers who are to be involved with the teaching. In the infant area, the teachers are to have completed initial training as teachers or educators as well as a special one-year course in special education at the Danish University of Education.

The carrying out of special education in school follows the basic principle that, if it is a teacher, who is responsible for the total teaching of one or more pupils, he or she must have completed a course of education which in real terms qualifies him or her for the given task. If it is a question of special education, which supplements the ordinary teaching in one or more subjects, there are no particular qualification requirements. It is not the formal but the real qualifications which are important here.
