Description
The Danish Ministry of Education (Undervisningsministeriet) will cut 75 full-time jobs out of a total of approximately 470 in a cost-saving restructuring effort. The head of the department will offer voluntary retirements schemes and possibilities for working fewer hours to employees. One noteworthy element of the government's consolidation plan is the closure of the School Administration office, which was set up only four years ago.
