Persistence to last grade of primary, total (% of cohort)

This indicator measures the proportion of students who begin their primary education journey and successfully complete it by reaching the final grade. Utilizing the reconstructed cohort method, it tracks the progression of children from their initial enrollment in the first grade to their eventual transition to the last grade. A high percentage reflects not only effective educational policies and systems but also the community's commitment to supporting children's educational journeys. Additionally, this metric provides insights into potential barriers to educational attainment, such as dropout rates influenced by socio-economic factors, infrastructure challenges, and access to resources, ultimately shaping educational reforms and strategies to enhance student retention.
