This indicator measures the transition of female students from primary to secondary education, reflecting their enrollment in the first grade of secondary school as a percentage of those who completed the final grade of primary school the previous year, adjusted for repeaters. It serves as a crucial metric for assessing gender equity in education, highlighting the ability of girls to access further learning opportunities. A higher percentage indicates effective retention and progression strategies, as well as societal support for girls' education. Analyzing this data also helps identify barriers that may still exist, such as cultural norms or economic factors, illustrating the broader societal commitment to fostering educational equality and empowering young women through sustained access to secondary education.
