In 2006, the description in the law of the aim of the Danish Public Primary School, the People’s School, was changed. This change sheds light on the view of the individual in the Competition State. The article demonstrates how this view is different from the view of the individual in the Welfare State. Now the public primary school has as its task to educate the students to participate in the development of the national competitiveness of Danish society in the global economic competition.
