legal and social conditions for asylum seekers and refugees in ...

Work
However, those who live outside the centres may receive, in addition to the normal financial
assistance, additional support in order to cover housing costs.
In principle, persons under temporary protection are not allowed to work.
Nevertheless, Bosnians under temporary protection were given the right to take up paid
employment if a job vacancy has been advertised for three months and cannot be filled by a
person with a work permit in Denmark.
Kosovo Albanians under temporary protection can be given permission to take up paid
employment if they have a written employment contract and the appointment conditions are not
conflicting or deviating from normal employment conditions according to Danish labour regulation
(salary, working hours, etc.).
Access to the adult education system
Persons under temporary protection have limited access to the ordinary Danish education
system.
They are offered special educational activities at the centres, which are performed either in cooperation
with institutions of the normal education system or directly by schools and other
educational institutions.
Young persons between 17 and 25 years are normally offered more extensive education than
adults.
Language tuition
Persons under temporary protection are offered Danish language tuition.
School attendance
Children of Bosnians under temporary protection were first offered Bosnian school education and
could then attend normal Danish primary schools.
Children of Kosovo Albanians under temporary protection are attending special schools
established in the centres. According to the Kosovo Act, if there are specific reasons for a child to
attend a normal Danish school or if no school is available in his/her accommodation centre, a
child may attend a Danish primary school, provided he/she is accepted by the local authorities.
Mother tongue tuition
The teaching language in the schools established in the accommodation centres is Danish, but
children also receive mother tongue tuition.
Unaccompanied minors
The same as asylum seekers.
Repatriation
Persons under temporary protection are eligible for assistance towards repatriation.
