What the numbers say
In 2017, Poland's repeaters, primary, female (% of female enrollment) rose 0.24 percentage points on 2016 (from 0.61% to 0.85%).
Across the 12 yearly changes before that (2005 to 2016), the average change was +0.03 percentage points and a typical year strayed about 0.17 percentage points from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 1.2 standard deviations above that average, so it was larger than a typical year, though not out of the range seen before.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 0.5 percentage points in 2008 and the biggest yearly fall was 0.2 percentage points in 2009. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2008 to 2017 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 2% of the movement over 10 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.

What this measures
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.
