Denmark's New International Schools: Bridging Gaps and Boosting Competitiveness
Hey there, folks! Let's dive into some buzzing news happening in Denmark today.
New IB Schools on the Horizon for Denmark
Three new English-language International Baccalaureate (IB) schools are planned as part of a strategy to create a more welcoming environment for skilled foreign workers looking to settle in Denmark. The factor driving this expansion is a growing demand for schooling in English and an expanding international workforce, according to the Ministry of Children and Education.
The locations for these schools will be announced by the end of this year, following the completion of the tender process. According to Anni Matthiesen, a schools spokesperson with the Liberal party, this move is vital for retaining international labor in Denmark.
Greenland's New Government Sworn In
Greenland's new government was sworn in on Monday, marking a significant change in leadership. The newly appointed prime minister, Jens-Frederik Nielsen, from the Demokraatit party, becomes the first premier from a party other than the traditionally dominant Siumut or IA parties. Nielsen expressed optimism in finding unity for Greenland's future and stressed the importance of strong leadership in these times.
EU Responds to Trump Tariffs
Danish Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen reported that the EU is formulating a strong response to US tariffs on European goods. Rasmussen emphasized that the countermeasures do not have to be limited to trade in goods but could extend to services as well. The EU is yet to announce its formal response, but unity and resolve are strong among European countries facing these tariffs.
Support for Denmark's Government on the Rise
Following the return of Trump to the White House in January, Denmark’s government has seen a surge in public support. Although the governing parties have not yet reached the 50.1% share gained in the 2022 election, the latest poll indicates a marked improvement in their popularity.
