Yearly data from 1971 to 2018, from the World Bank.
Benin's repeaters, primary, total (% of total enrollment) was 15.11% in 2018, the latest year in the World Bank's World Development Indicators. That is up 0.81 percentage points from 14.3% in 2008.
| Value | Year | |
|---|---|---|
| Latest | 15.11% | 2018 |
| Five years earlier | 11.22% | 2013 |
| Ten years earlier | 14.3% | 2008 |
| Highest | 28.52% | 1984 |
| Lowest | 9.92% | 2016 |
| Average since 2010 | 11.71% | 2010–2018 |
| First recorded | 18.84% | 1971 |
Over five years it is up 3.89 percentage points from 11.22% in 2013. Since 1971 it is down 3.73 percentage points from 18.84% in 1971. The World Bank has no value for 5 of the years in between; the chart leaves those gaps open rather than joining across them.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 6.05 percentage points in 1984 and the biggest yearly fall was 6.29 percentage points in 2005. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2010 to 2018 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 3% of the movement over 8 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.
Worked out from the yearly values above. How the checks work: standard deviation, z-scores and straight-line trends.
In 2018, Benin had the 7th highest value of the 79 economies reporting that year. Higher is not always better: for some indicators the lowest value is the one to aim for. See the full ranking.

Repeaters in primary school are the number of students enrolled in the same grade as in the previous year, as a percentage of all students enrolled in primary school.
Limitations: Country policies on repetition and promotion differ. In some cases the number of repeaters is controlled because of limited capacity. In other cases the number of repeaters is almost 0 because of automatic promotion – suggesting a system that is highly efficient but that may not be endowing students with enough cognitive skills.
Regional and income-group figures are computed by the World Bank as a weighted average.
