Fair enough, but if it was at work or something you can at least say, 'eh at least I still get paid' Here you have no recourse options.
edit: Having read the translation now. It seems the students do have a choice in which software suite they use. So I guess they did have a recourse. So in the end it was their own responsibility. I guess it was a good lesson then.
I can't speak for every University, but some have a way for you to appeal issues like this to the Dean.
Just a note to avoid some confusion some people may have: gymnasium in denmark is roughly the same as high schools in the US. While I’m sure the problem also affects university students, the focus of this article is on the high school students specifically.
