Breaking education barriers

According to recent education research, approximately 35% of learners in South African schools have repeated a grade.

Studies show that learners from households where caregivers have higher education levels are less likely to repeat. Only 11% of learners from tertiary-educated households experience grade repetition, compared to 42% from households where household heads have no formal education.
