Guidance in Relation to Completion of Education within
General and Vocational Upper Secondary Education

The upper secondary schools
(‘gymnasium‘ and VET colleges)
are obliged to support students
in a way that enables them to
complete their education.

Students enrolled in an upper
secondary school will therefore
have support from the school
staff such as teachers, guidance
counsellors or other professional
staff members supporting stu-
dents in various ways. The insti-
tutions are free to choose their
methods and choose the appro-
priate staff to support students
in completing their education.
The work being done at institu-
tions by guidance counsellors,
teachers or other professional
staff members is an important
part of the national effort to
reduce drop-out from education
and to support students in their
effort to complete their educa-
tion.

Educational institutions cooper-
ate with the youth guidance
centres and the regional guid-
ance centres in order to have
coherence in guidance. This
cooperation has a general and
also a more specific perspective
regarding students at risk of
dropping out of education
