social promotion and grade retention  

Definición

  • Grade retention and social promotion are widely used, yet highly controversial, educational practices used to promote student academic achievement. Grade retention (also known as “grade repetition” or “failing a grade”) occurs when a student repeats the current grade rather than being promoted to the next grade with his peers.
