For Greenlandic students in Denmark, making it easier to make the grade
Greenland is responsible for educating its own residents. It is hoping that it can make the task of stopping the high drop-out rate among the students it sends to Denmark into a group project.
There are 600 Greenlandic students enrolled at Danish post-secondary educational institutions. Statistically, 150 of them will drop out this year, a rate that’s twice as high as for Danish students. Distance from home, cultural differences and, not least, studying in Danish — a language many of them do not speak natively — add an extra degree of difficulty to their studies.
