School and education
High-quality schools and education are a core responsibility of the Danish welfare state, ensuring the academic and social development of children and young people, and preparing them for the labour market and adult life in general.
The ROCKWOOL Foundation conducts research across the entire educational journey—from early childhood to adulthood—examining skill development, well-being, resource use, and inequality from the perspectives of children, young people, families, and educational institutions.
