* High School (Gymnasium): In Denmark, "high school" (Gymnasium) is a specific type of upper secondary education that prepares students for university. Not everyone attends Gymnasium; some pursue vocational education instead. Almost all Danes complete some form of upper secondary education, but not all of it is Gymnasium.
* College/University (Higher Education): A significant percentage of Danes pursue higher education after Gymnasium or another upper secondary qualification. However, the exact percentage varies depending on the year and how "college" is defined (including vocational colleges or only universities).
* Data Collection: Statistics Denmark (Danmarks Statistik) tracks educational attainment, but the reported figures are often presented as cumulative percentages (e.g., the percentage of the population with a specific level of education completed at some point in their lives) rather than concurrent rates.
To get a clearer picture, you'd need to specify:
* Are you interested in the percentage attending Gymnasium (upper secondary education preparing for university)? This number is high, close to 100% for completion of *some* form of upper secondary, but a lower percentage for Gymnasium specifically.
* Are you interested in the percentage attending some form of higher education (universities, colleges, vocational schools)? This is also high but would require specifying if you mean immediately after upper secondary education, or cumulative across a lifetime.
In short, while a very high percentage of Danes complete upper secondary education, and a substantial percentage go on to higher education, providing an exact combined percentage without clarifying the specific types of education is misleading. You would need to consult Statistics Denmark directly for precise figures based on your specific definition.
