This indicator measures the proportion of primary school students who are repeating the same grade compared to the overall enrollment in primary education. It reflects the
effectiveness of the education system, highlighting potential challenges such as insufficient learning outcomes or socio-economic barriers that may hinder students' progress. A higher percentage of repeaters can signify issues related to curriculum adequacy, the quality of teaching, or support mechanisms for struggling learners. Conversely, a low percentage may indicate a well-functioning system where students are successfully acquiring the necessary skills to advance. Analyzing this metric alongside other educational statistics can provide valuable insights into the overall health and inclusivity of primary education in a given region.
