In a speech that otherwise stuck to familiar themes, Queen Margrethe touched on two of the biggest political debates in 2014: the influx of refugees and the most comprehensive school reform in modern Danish history.
The queen first directly addressed Denmark’s schoolchildren, who this year are facing longer school days and other changes due to the reforms that took effect in August.
“Right now it is the Christmas holiday; but children and teachers must soon start school again. I wish all of you children who are watching tonight a very happy New Year. After the holiday you will go back to school; then you must show how much progress you can make,” Queen Margrethe said.
