Education Minister of Denmark

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Education Minister of Denmark (Danish: Undervisningsminister) is a Danish minister office.

The office was created in 1916 when the post Kultus Minister was split up into the posts of Education Minister and Church Minister. The new Church Minister also took over the responsibility for culture from the Kultus Minister, a task later transferred to the Minister for Cultural Affairs in 1961.
