Repetition, Survival, and Transition. At all grades, the repetition rates are low and declined over the period 2000/01 to 2005/06, as shown in Table 165. It can also be seen that the repetition rates are highest in Grade 1 and lowest in Grade 5. The dropout rate for primary school was 6.9% and for lower secondary school, 6.1%. Students are much more likely to drop out of primary school than repeat a grade. The overall internal efficiency of basic education at the national level is estimated at 60%.
