This metric captures the transition rate from primary to secondary education by highlighting the percentage of students entering the first year of secondary school relative to those who completed the last grade of primary school in the preceding year, adjusted for repeaters. It serves as a crucial indicator of educational progression, reflecting not only the effectiveness of primary education systems but also the socio-economic factors influencing students' ability to continue their studies. A high percentage signifies a strong pipeline of learners advancing to secondary education, which can contribute to higher literacy rates, economic growth, and overall social development. Conversely, a low rate may indicate systemic barriers that hinder students from transitioning, such as financial constraints, lack of infrastructure, or cultural attitudes towards education. Source:
