Danish school association for southern Schleswig
The Danish School Association for South Schleswig e. V. ( Danish : Dansk Skoleforening for Sydslesvig ) operates as an association the school system of the Danish ethnic group in southern Schleswig .
history
After the referendum in Schleswig , a group of Danish-minded parents gathered in Flensburg and founded the Danish School Association on May 5, 1920, which set itself the task of enabling children of Danish-minded parents to attend a Danish school. This was made possible, among other things, by the Weimar Constitution, which was more liberal than the previous Empire . While the work of the school association initially concentrated on the Flensburg area, the work could be extended to other locations in southern Schleswig in the mid-1920s. In addition to the schools, work was also carried out on setting up Danish day care centers . During the Nazi era , the school association was under strong political pressure. In 1936 about 1000 students were registered in the ten Danish schools at the time, but by the end of the war the number of students had halved. Immediately after the Second World War , however, the number rose again almost explosively. Since the 1960s, the numbers have shown a relatively stable development again.
present
The school association currently operates 46 Danish schools in the southern part of Schleswig. This includes ten community schools , two of which ( Duborg-Skolen in Flensburg and AP Møller-Skolen in Schleswig) have an upper secondary school level . One of the primary schools is run as a Frisian- Danish school (Risum Skole / Risem Schölj in Risum-Lindholm ). Many schools offer afternoon school care (Skolefritidsordning (SFO) ). The schools currently employ around 540 teachers who teach around 5,650 students.
According to German law, schools are substitute schools within the meaning of Section 58 of the Schleswig-Holstein School Act . The subjects German and Danish are taught in schools on a mother tongue level. The rest of the subjects, with the exception of the languages, are all taught in Danish. The school leaving qualifications are recognized in both Denmark and Germany .
Parents evenings for the lower grades are usually held in German and Danish. In the higher grades, the aim is to hold the parents' evenings exclusively in Danish. With the registration of the child, at least one parent undertakes to learn the Danish language within a few years if they do not already speak it.
The association also operates 55 Danish daycare with currently 1,900 children who Jaruplund Højskole , two school camps ( Skolehjemmet in Vesterled and Sydslesvighjemmet in Rendbjerg ), called a nursery colony ( Hjerpsted Feriekoloni ), a boarding school for students in Duborg-Skolen in Flensburg ( Ungdomskollegiet ) and a school psychology facility that currently employs six psychologists . The school association is also responsible for adult education and the evening schools for the minority.
The running costs of the school association are covered 50% by the Danish state , 43% by the German state , 3% by the districts and municipalities and 4% by self-financing.
