Transform school in springboard for scientific discoveries in industry/economy

I propose that along all the school years the pupils work on projects similar to graduation projects that are agreed on between school and a company for example. 

These projects should have scientific advancement as focal point.

I personally found it much easier to sediment knowledge when the learning process was more practical than theoretical.

In many countries fresh graduates have a hard time to find work because of lack of experience. With a sum of projects behind them they would be easier to hire.

They would also find it more easier to choose a job they like because they would have had contact with different jobs through the projects.

The companies could see an advantage to have pupils working on advanced technological projects for them.

They could also pay small sums of money that could be used to buy equipment for schools.

The school curriculum would stay constantly connected to the latest developments in industry/economy.

For example pupils could migrate databases for a company, translate a book for a publishing house, work with artificial intelligence to optimize a process, etc.

To organise a good approach to practical training in projects. At the same time, this promotes social skills in group work and innovation can grow, almost from an early age. This can only be supported

We already have this system in Denmark.

You can suggest it to your own politicians in your country. I think the 27 different education systems will work better without interference from the union. Because the European parliament has just forced Denmark to close 3.900 educations that are in english. Not because the quality of the education. But because the parliament think we are spending to much money on education.

In Denmark we have a system so the citizens can suggest a new law or something they want the danish parlament to discuss.

If it gets 50.000 signatures then our politician are discussing and voting about the suggestion.
