In Denmark, the most common, highest level of education completed by inhabitants of Danish origin was vocational education and training. Among both immigrants and descendants of immigrants, the most common type of education completed was primary education, with 22 and 381 percent respectively: However, this figure may be swayed by factors such as age distribution across the population, and the fact that many of the people included were still taking part in secondary education. Additionally, the distribution of Masters or PhD qualifications across the population was highest among immigrants.
