Bo Ravn
The municipalities will be obliged to extend their outreach services to include all young people below the age of 25 who have not started – or have dropped out of – a youth education programme.
Bo Ravn
These young people will be continuously contacted until they agree to follow a plan, which will lead to their getting back into a youth education programme.

5 days programme.

Organise bridge-building activities at youth education institutions even in the 9th form.
2-10 days.
Bo Ravn
Bridge-building activities of two weeks duration will be made obligatory in the 10th form with the possibility of extending the activities for an additional four weeks.
Bo Ravn
Youth education institutions will be obliged to meet the established demandfor introductory courses and bridging activities.
Bo Ravn
Career guidance at an early stage in compulsory education is to be strengthened and targeted at the pupils who are in need of it the most.
Bo Ravn
Guidance activities are to begin in the 6th form, and they should primarily be focused on young people who are likely not to commence or complete a youth education programme.
Bo Ravn
Pupils who are tired of school or for some other reason do not benefit from ordinary education will be given the opportunity to take part in activities or schemes in contexts outside the school which should help clarify their educational options and choice and to develop their professional and social skills.
Bo Ravn
Requirements concerning the pupils’ individual transition plans will be specified and clarified so that they become even more active and useful as a tool in relation to the pupils’ transition from compulsory education to the voluntary 10th form or a youth education programme.
Bo Ravn
For pupils who choose the voluntary 10th form, the transition plan must serve to ensure that the teaching can be organised in a way that takes into account the individual pupil’s potential and need for further qualifications.
