Guidance and Breaking the Mould (Pattern Break)
These documents have been selected to cast light on a particular aspect of guidance in Denmark: ‘pattern breaking’, i.e. breaking social moulds. Questions raised in this section are how ethnic minority youth can transcend marginalisation and what the counsellors and educational institutions can do to reduce the drop-out rate. The key issue is how guidance can contribute to obtain equal opportunities in the educational system disregarding social inheritance.
In 2004, the Danish Ministry of Refugee, Immigration and Integration conducted a qualitative study of the reasons for drop-out among the ethnic minority youth in vocational education and training (Jensen and Jørgensen 2005). This section shows the results of the study along with the guidance needs of the different groups of youth in vocational training programmes.

By Ulla Højmark Jensen, associate professor in the Guidance Research Unit, DPU The drop-out rate from secondary education programmes among ethnic minority youth is twice that of Danish youth. The withdrawal rate is greatest in the vocational training programmes, where 60 percent of the ethnic minority youth drop out from some programmes. Some of the significant causes relate to problems finding apprenticeships and the high technical level in the programmes. But what can the counsellors and educational institutions do to reduce the withdrawal rate from the perspective of adaptation and change?

This article is written by Ulla Højmark Jensen, PhD at The Danish University of Education. The article will focus on young people without an education and their respective experiences and moti-vational factors in relation to education. The focus is on illuminating some of the mechanisms be-hind the choices made by youth in relation to education. Counselling is perceived very differently by different groups of uneducated youth - a circumstance that raises considerable demands of the counselling measures and the individual counsellor and his/her familiarity with the young person's situation

Guidance and Competences
In 2004, the Danish government launched the concept of prior learning, non-formal and informal learning, and in 2005 The Ministry of Education set forth to develop recognition of prior learning. Since then, central actors have emphasised different aspects of guidance in relation to the concept of prior learning. This section contains the view and findings of the Danish Confederation of Trade Unions (LO), of the Danish Ministry of Education, and of Ph.D student, Rie Thomsen. The latter has created a model for the process of recognition of prior learning, including the guidance component.
Recognition of prior learning is an opportunity to improve and support equal opportunities for unskilled to further training, adult education and employment.
