CHAPTER 4: INTERNAL EFFICIENCY
The following section reports on repeaters and dropouts across OECS education system. Data on class sizes, pupil/teacher ratios, schools managed by school boards and schools operating with development and disaster management plans are also presented.
Comparison of repetition rates across countries should be done with caution; some countries have explicit repetition policies which limits student repetition and as much as possible keep the age cohort together. This is not the case in other countries.
N.B. Repetition Rates for 2016-17 are calculated as # of repeaters 2017-18 divided by the enrolment for 2016-17
