Andersen has welcomed the news of the FKU tests’ abolition.
“It is my hope that the solution will give Greenlanders in Denmark peace and security back,” she said in a statement.
Hæstorp Andersen pointed out that around 460 children with a Greenlandic background are currently placed outside their homes in Denmark, where around 17,000 Greenlanders live.
Greenland’s minister for children, youth, education, culture, sports and church, Peter P. Olsen, also expressed his approval of the news.
“I am very pleased that the Danish government agrees with Naalakkersuisut [the Greenlandic government] to meet a heartfelt wish from Naalakkersuisut and the Greenlandic population,” he said.
“It has been a long-term process to achieve our goal of stopping the use of psychological tests in parental competence examinations of Greenlandic families in Denmark.”
According to a 2022 report published by the Danish Institute for Human Rights, 5.6% of children with a Greenlandic background living in Denmark had at the time been placed into care, compared to 1% of those with a Danish background.
A string of controversial claims made by US President Donald Trump about buying or taking over Greenland have helped open up sore wounds between Greenland and Denmark.
Greenland was a Danish colony until 1953, but is now a self-governing territory thanks to a self-rule law passed in 2009.
