institutions for adult education that generally do not grant academic degrees, though certain courses might exist leading to that goal

The concept originally came from the Danish writer, poet, philosopher and pastor N. F. S. Grundtvig

Folk high schools in Germany and Sweden are in fact much closer to the institutions known as folkeuniversitet or folkuniversitet in Norway and Denmark which provide adult education. However, unlike the folkuniversitet, folk high schools in Sweden are not connected to a regular university.

The Efterskole is a unique Danish independent residential school for students between 14 and 18 years old. Presently some 28.500 students attend one of the app. 260 schools throughout Denmark. The schools are open to students from abroad, but please note that to attend you like Danish students must pay school fees.

Democratic Schools are based on the basic assumption that students are curios and love to learn. The students on Democratic Schools have the right to decide how, when and what they want to learn. They have also a huge amount of rights to participate in the decision making process within the school. At many schools, e.g. the Sudbury Valley School, the students have the right to hire staff members and to manage the budget.In this film we will show Democratic Schools in Germany, the Netherlands, Israel, Puerto Rico and the USA.

The French government subsidizes most private primary and secondary schools, including those affiliated with religious denominations, under contracts stipulating that education must follow the same curriculum as public schools and that schools cannot discriminate on grounds of religion or force pupils to attend religion classes. This system of école libre (Free Schooling) is mostly used not for religious reasons, but for practical reasons (private schools may offer more services, such as after-class tutoring) as well as the desire of parents living in disenfranchised areas to send their children away from the local schools, where they perceive that the youth are too prone to delinquency or have too many difficulties keeping up with schooling requirements that the educational content is bound to suffer. The threatened repealing of that status in the 1980s triggered mass street demonstrations in favor of the status.[citation needed]

Sweden reformed its school system in 1992.[17] Its system of school choice is one of the freest in the world, allowing students to use public funds for the publicly or privately run school of their choice, including religious and for-profit schools.[17] Fifteen years after the reform, private school enrolment had increased from 1% to 10% of the student population.[17]
