University reform — A political majority has decided that Danish universities should cut admissions by one tenth from 2025.

The cuts to academic programmes are due to a political ambition of getting more young people to take vocational education programmes instead – especially in the social welfare area.

There has been a general trend with our recent government to cut spending on education. Our grant system (SU) has been recently reduced from 6 years to 5 and there has been and various masters degrees have been reduced from lasting 2 years to 1.

Thoughts? I know these standards, even when reduced like they have, are borderline utopian to many of you in other parts of the world but it is still frustrating to see this "generational theft". I can't help but feel like the current government is selling out the youth to an aging population.
