5 KINDERGARTENS are pedagogical institutions for children below compulsory school age. Children who reach the age of one no later than by the end of August in the year a kindergarten place has been sought, are, upon application, entitled to a place in a kindergarten from August. PRIMARY AND LOWER SECONDARY EDUCATION covers education for children aged 6 to 5 and grades to 0. Local authorities are required to offer before and after-school care for pupils in st to 4th grade. UPPER SECONDARY EDUCATION normally provides three years of general education or four years of vocational training after the 0-year compulsory education. The norm for apprenticeship training is two years of vocational training in upper secondary education followed by one or two years of practical training in industry. TERTIARY VOCATIONAL PROGRAMMES are post-secondary, but are not defined as higher education. The duration is a minimum of six months and a maximum of two years. HIGHER EDUCATION Higher education is based on general admission, normally completed secondary education. The main structure is a 3++3 model; a three-year bachelor s degree, twoyear master s degree and three-year doctoral programme. ADULT EDUCATION includes adult education at primary, lower secondary and upper secondary level, folk high schools, adult education associations and independent distance learning institutions. Adults who have not completed sufficient primary and lower secondary education are entitled to education at these levels. Adults from the age of 5 years who have completed primary and lower secondary school or the equivalent, but not upper secondary education, have the right to such education upon application. A study association consists of two or more voluntary organisations and offers a selection of courses, ranging from basic education/training to work training and studies at university level. Study associations offer courses in most municipalities and can apply for government funding. The folk high schools are free, and are general education schools that also have a clear integrative goal. Folk high schools do not have a curriculum or examinations. Folk high schools offer both short courses lasting at least two days and a maximum of 94 days, and long courses with a duration of 4-0 months. Web-based schools offer a high degree of flexibility. They allow teachers and students to communicate with each other regardless of time and place. The teaching can be organised in several ways, either simply as web-based tuition or combined web-based tuition and central or regional collections of students. Approved web-based schools can apply for state funding.
