Teaching English in Denmark. Denmark is the smallest of the Scandinavian nations other than Iceland. Located between the North Sea on the west and the Baltic Sea on the southeast, Denmark is separated from Norway by the Skagerrak and from Sweden by the Kattegat and the Oresund. In the south, it shares a 68 km (43 mi) border with Germany. The Faeroe Islands and Greenland have been part of Denmark since the 14th century and are now self-governing units within the nation.

During
the 9th century the name Denmark (Danmark: "border district of the
Danes") was used for the first time. Subsequently, Denmark ruled
over much of Scandinavia, which developed a common Nordic culture. At
the same time, because of Denmark's proximity to Germany, Denmark has
also been influenced by German culture.
Today, Denmark's balanced economy, in which much of its agricultural and
industrial output is exported, gives the country one of the highest standards
of living in the world. Through high taxes levied by the government, Denmark
enjoys one of the most advanced systems of government provided welfare
and social services in the world.
Denmark has a temperate marine climate, which is mild for its latitude.
Primary education has been compulsory in Denmark since 1814, and virtually
all adults are literate. Comprehensive education, consisting of 9 years
in a general school, usually for ages 7 to 16, is provided. Students may
then proceed to 3 more years in a gymnasium to prepare for university
entrance examinations. Denmark has five universities, at Copenhagen (1479),
Alborg (1974), Arhus (1928), Odense (1966), and Roskilde (1970), and numerous
technical institutes. Folk High Schools are a special feature of the Danish
education system. Originally established during the 19th century, they
offer courses primarily in Danish history and culture. They are open to
all adults.
Denmark, a pioneer in the development of social welfare programs, long
provided free medical care and payments for all workers temporarily unable
to work due to illness, injury, or childbirth. Special benefits for pregnant
women and young children reduced infant mortality to a low rate. By the
1980s, however, there was rising concern about the cost of social programs,
which had come to absorb nearly 30% of the national budget. In 1982, social
benefits to individuals were restricted through the imposition of means
tests.
Danish hospitality is so great that strangers are invited into the homes for elaborate meals. Should you want to teach English in Denmark, don't just wander into the country and expect to get hired secure a teaching English job first.
