The Minister may also issue curricula and teaching guides for the individual subjects and topics. -- (Aus der Einleitung übersetzt)
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
