This indicator measures the transition rate of male students from primary to secondary education, reflecting the percentage of new male entrants in the first grade of secondary school relative to those who completed the final grade of primary school the previous year, adjusted by excluding repeaters. It serves as a critical benchmark for assessing educational continuity and access for boys, highlighting systemic factors such as socioeconomic conditions, educational policies, and cultural attitudes that may influence boys' educational journeys. By analyzing this metric, stakeholders can identify improvement areas in educational equity, ensuring that male students are not only enrolling but are also supported to thrive as they advance to secondary levels, ultimately contributing to their overall academic success and societal development.
