Repeaters, primary, male (% of male enrollment)

This indicator reflects the proportion of male students in primary education who are repeating the same grade as the previous academic year, calculated as a percentage of the total male enrollment in primary schools. An elevated percentage of repeaters can signal underlying challenges within the education system, such as instructional quality, socio-economic barriers, or learning disabilities. Additionally, it may indicate the effectiveness of early childhood education programs and primary school pedagogies in meeting the diverse learning needs of boys. Monitoring this metric is crucial for policymakers and educators, as it can inform targeted interventions aimed at improving retention and enhancing educational outcomes for male students, ultimately contributing to a more equitable schooling environment.
