Amid sharply rising cases, mushrooming hospitalisations – and ongoing mink scandals – Denmark insists it has not forgotten its university students.
A range of new initiatives including employer partnerships, legislation on loans and a ‘mental health summit’ are at the top of the agenda, says Ane Halsboe-Jørgensen, Danish Minister for Science, Technology, Information and Higher Education.
“It is an important priority to help our students in these uncertain times [who] have no influence on how the pandemic will evolve,” she says, “we have a duty to aid them.”
In Spring, Denmark was Europe’s poster child for a pandemic response. Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen drew praise for taking tough decisions early and on March 11th, universities shut their doors. But partial activity resumed soon after for some research and courses with practical elements, followed by full reopening in Autumn.
