This indicator reflects the proportion of boys who, having started their educational journey in the first grade of primary school, successfully proceed through to complete the final grade of primary education. Utilizing the reconstructed cohort method, this metric not only highlights the educational progress of male students but also serves as a vital measure of the overall educational system's effectiveness in retaining boys within primary schooling. Tracking this percentage can illuminate trends related to educational equity, potential socioeconomic barriers, and cultural attitudes toward boys' education. By analyzing this data, stakeholders can identify key areas for intervention, ensuring that all children, regardless of gender, have the opportunity to complete their primary education and lay a strong foundation for further academic pursuits.
