The guidelines are linked to the "Decree on higher preparatory examinations" of 24 April 1974. They have been prepared on the basis of material prepared by the subject committees under RUGU (Rådgivende Udvalg for de Gymnasiale Uddannelser/Advisory Committee for Upper Secondary Education). -- (Aus dem Vorwort übersetzt)
The Higher Preparatory Examination programme (Højеre Forberedelseseksamen - HF) is a fulltime two-year general upper secondary programme, which aims to develop the students’ orientation towards broader areas of professional life and prepare for further education. The programme contains compulsory subjects, electives and varying courses. An HF exam qualifies the holder for admission to higher education programmes at Danish business academies, schools of technology and design and university colleges
According to Act no. 509 of 30 June 1993 on the primary and lower secondary school, the Minister of Education must lay down rules on the purpose of teaching in ag and compulsory subjects and state key areas of knowledge and skills for these. The Minister may also issue curricula and teaching guides for the individual subjects and topics. -- (Aus der Einleitung übersetzt)
"In the curriculum of 1941, the working methods for the exam-free middle school were revised as a result of the Schools Act of 1937, although the new work plans for this department in Frederiksberg largely meant a continuation of the guidelines from the plan of 1932, which recommended period reading and summarized subjects in groups. In addition, there were the experiences from the admittedly inadequately completed experimental work with the practical middle school. The result was that a further interconnection of the subjects was recommended for a subject teaching that left the teacher very free from the material he would review in the classes." -- (Tranlated from the introducion)
