The Danish study progress reform is designed to speed up tardy students. But it is leading to some strange CVs. This is after the reform’s obligatory credit [Danish: tvangsmerit, ed.] system is forcing students to have subjects credited that have absolutely no<\/em> relevance to their studies, according to Danish-language site and other media.<\/p>\n

One Ditte Staffeldt from the University of Copenhagen has been forced to have her one year of theatre science credited after changing study programme to biology. Result: A biologist with a specialty in theatre science.<\/p>\n

This is nonsense, according to the Danish students union DSF to the newspaper Information and Ritzau. “A case like this is a clear example of how the study progress reform is directly removing our ability to educate ourselves for the better,” says Yasmin Davali, chairman of DSF, in a press release.<\/p>\n

New rule forces you to transfer credits<\/h2>\n

The problem will only get bigger because the scheme so far has only hit students who started their studies last summer.<\/p>\n

“This is not the only example I have heard about. We have seen more and more absurd cases of students getting credits for irrelevant subjects being forced upon them, and being squeezed in an attempt to get a good education.”<\/p>\n

Before Ditte Staffeldt started her biology programme she had carried out two semesters in theatre science, corresponding to 60 ECTS points in the European Credit Transfer System. <\/p>\n

Aim is to speed up students<\/h2>\n

She has been subsequently forced to transfer these credits, with the reasoning that the relevance of the subject has nothing to do with it, according to the Danish-language news site Uniavisen.dk.<\/a><\/p>\n

“I will become a biologist with a specialty in theatre sciences. What on earth am I going to use that for? I have not started my education to avoid learning something, but because I find it interesting, and hope to gain as much knowledge as possible about my subject. Now I will gain less knowledge about biology than my fellow students, and write fewer relevant subjects on my CV,” says a disappointed Ditte Staffeldt.<\/p>\n

While the goal of the so-called study progress reform is to get the – by international standards slower – students to complete their education and enter the labour market more quickly, the students believe that this objective has not been reached.<\/p>\n

Devastating for education<\/h2>\n

Education Minister, Sofie Carsten Nielsen (R), continues to defend the recent study reform despite accusations that it is destructive to the educational system, writes Seven59.dk and Information.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it is scary to see a minister who so consistently refuses to respond to the warnings she gets from the entire sector,\u201d says Yasmin Davali, Danish Students Union president.<\/p>\n

“There is no doubt that the reform is going to have devastating consequences for our education.”<\/p>\n

Minister: Organise your studies differently<\/h2>\n

The student union says it is impossible to engage in constructive dialogue with the education minister when she continues to firmly hold her position on the education reform.<\/p>\n

Minister of Education of Sofie Carsten Nielsen will have none of it.<\/p>\n

“I stand by our demands on the education programmes and that the students should organise their studies a little differently.”<\/p>\n
