Sabro Korsvejskolen is a public state-owned school (Danish: Folkeskole) located in the Sabro suburb in the Aarhus Municipality of Denmark. It was established in 1964.

Contents

Organisation

The school consists of a pre-school, primary and lower secondary school that teaches the full period of compulsory education from the ages of 6 to 16. [1] [2] [3]

The school enrols some 700 students. The average class size is 15-25 students in the middle school and 20-25 students in the lower secondary school. [2] [4] [5]

History

The school is named after a small complex between two old city roads, Viborgvej and Stillingvej, North West of Aarhus. The school was inaugurated in 1964 under the name Sabro-Korsvejskolen, but was later renamed to Sabro Korsvejskolen, without the hyphen. [4] [6]

The school was meant to replace smaller schools in Lading, Skjoldelev, Fårup, Borum og Lyngby. Early in the planning process the more central city of Mundelstrup was considered, but not chosen. [2] [7] [8]

Grade system

In 2005-06 a new grade system was introduced, 7-trins-skalaen ("7-step-scale"; colloquially dubbed the 12-scale), designed to be compatible with the ECTS grading scale. [4] [9]

Municipality reform

At the local government reform in 1970, part of Lading was moved into Hammel Municipality and the rest to the Aarhus Municipality. The original school community was abolished and the school controlled from Aarhus Municipality. [2] [4]

After a few years the city council of Hammel decided that the children from this municipality should stop going to school in Sabro and instead be transported to the Municipality's capital. [2] [4]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Secondary education</span> Second phase of basic education

Secondary education or post-primary education covers two phases on the International Standard Classification of Education scale. Level 2 or lower secondary education is considered the second and final phase of basic education, and level 3 upper secondary education or senior secondary education is the stage before tertiary education. Every country aims to provide basic education, but the systems and terminology remain unique to them. Secondary education typically takes place after six years of primary education and is followed by higher education, vocational education, or employment. In most countries, secondary education is compulsory, at least until the age of 16. Children typically enter the lower secondary phase around age 12. Compulsory education sometimes extends to age 20.

Higher education in Denmark is offered by a range of universities, university colleges, business academies and specialised institutions. The national higher education system is in accordance with the Bologna Process, with bachelor's degrees, master's degrees and doctoral degrees. The majority of higher education institutions are the responsibility of the Ministry of Higher Education and Science; however, some higher education institutions within the arts are the responsibility of the Ministry of Culture.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Secondary school</span> Institution or building where secondary education is provided

A secondary school or high school is an institution that provides secondary education and also usually includes the building where this takes place. Some secondary schools provide both lower secondary education and upper secondary education, i.e., both levels 2 and 3 of the ISCED scale, but these can also be provided in separate schools.

Education in Denmark is compulsory for children below the age of 15 or 16, even though it is not compulsory to attend Folkeskole. The school years up to the age of fifteen/sixteen are known as Folkeskole, since any education has to match the level offered there. About 82% of young people take further education in addition to this. Government-funded education is usually free of charge and open to all. Denmark has a tradition of private schools and about 15.6% of all children at basic school level attend private schools, which are supported by a voucher system.

The folkeskole is a type of school in Denmark covering the entire period of compulsory education, from the age of 6 to 16, encompassing pre-school, primary and lower secondary education.

The ECTS grading scale is a grading system defined in the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS) framework by the European Commission. Since many grading systems co-exist in Europe and, considering that interpretation of grades varies considerably from one country to another, if not from one institution to another, the ECTS grading scale has been developed to provide a common measure and facilitate the transfer of students and their grades between European higher education institutions, by allowing national and local grading systems to be interchangeable. Grades are reported on a carefully calibrated and uniform A-to-F scale combined with keywords and short qualitative definitions. Each institution makes its own decision on how to apply the ECTS grading scale to its system.
