This indicator measures the
continuity of female students throughout their primary education journey, representing the proportion of girls who, having started in the first grade, successfully complete their primary schooling. Using the reconstructed cohort method, it not only
reflects educational access but also highlights the challenges that may hinder girls from progressing, such as socio-economic barriers, cultural attitudes, and resource availability. Understanding this metric is crucial for policymakers, as it underscores the need for targeted interventions that promote gender equity in education, ensure inclusive learning environments, and enhance support systems. By monitoring the persistence rates among girls, stakeholders can better evaluate the effectiveness of educational reforms and initiatives aimed at retaining female students in the educational system.
