Dropout and repetition rates uneven in certain grades

Although the reduction in the average dropout and repetition rates is progressing well in the schools, as per the Annual Education Statistics 2018, the decline is uneven with highest rates in certain grades.

The highest repetition rates are noted in classes five, eight and six while dropout rates are higher in classes four, seven and nine. Indicators such as repetition rates, dropout rates and completion rates at various levels of education give the efficiency of the education system.

The repetition and dropout rates are notably higher in boys compared to girls.

The report reveals that when children are not enrolled at the right age, their needs are not catered in terms of offering age-appropriate interventions and strategies. As a result, the number of overage children increases progressively in the higher grades and these groups are likely to repeat and at greater risk of dropping out.

According to the 2018 pre-primary enrolment, over thirty-five per cent are over-aged children.

Likewise, frequent change in schools to continue their education after class three, six and eight makes it difficult for students to cope with new environments. And this adversely affects their learning.

The other reason is an increasing pressure placed on students by expanded curriculum at classes four, seven and nine.

The report also calls for an in-depth study to further explore and understand such a phenomenon.
