Between 2015 and 2019, the number of female first grade repeaters in China decreased significantly from 28.91 thousand to 6.98 thousand, showcasing a clear downward trend. The year-on-year decrease was approximately 28% between 2018 and 2019, while the 5-year CAGR was around -26%. This consistent decline indicates substantial improvements in the education system's effectiveness concerning female students at this level.
In 2023, the number of female repeaters was much lower, continuing the downward trajectory observed in previous years. Looking forward, it's crucial to monitor policy changes, societal attitudes towards female education, and further educational reforms that might impact these numbers. Additionally, population changes and demographic shifts could also influence future trends in primary education repeaters.
