Grade-to-Grade Flow Rates29universal retention at the primary level. A retention rate of 71 percentindicates that about 29 percent children dropped-out from the systembefore reaching Grade V. However, a few states have much higher retentionrate at primary level than the average (71.01 percent) of 286 districts.Tamil Nadu (around 100 percent), Kerala (95.37 percent), Himachal Pradesh(81.38 percent) and Madhya Pradesh (95.50 percent) are such states. ExceptKerala, retention rate in these states is not based on the entire statedata. It seems that with a little more effort, these states can easily movetowards achieving the goal of universal retention at the primary level ofeducation. Retention rate in Kerala is based upon the data of all of its 14districts. Though the retention rate in some of the states has significantlyimproved over the previous year, the situation in rest of the states includedin the analysis is not encouraging. In Bihar and Jharkhand, it is low at42.34 and 59.38 percent respectively, compared to 52.31 percent inUttarakhand and 58.26 percent in West Bengal. Without muchimprovement, neither these states nor the country as a whole can achievethe goal of universal retention at the primary level of education. Clearerpicture will emerge when enrolment data over a period of five years forthe entire country becomes available.Grade-to-Grade Flow RatesThe retention rate presents retaining capacity of the system but it fails toidentify problems in the system. Therefore, it would be better to analysegrade-to-grade flow rates between the primary grades. If calculatedseparately for boys and girls at disaggregated levels, such as district, thesame would help in identifying districts and grades where there is highincidence of repetition and drop-outs. With the help of enrolment andrepeaters, first the number of promotees, repeaters and drop-outs acrossthe primary grades is obtained which in turn is linked to the enrolment inthe previous grade in the previous year, to obtain grade-to-grade transitionrates, such as, promotion, repetition and drop-out rates. If number ofrepeaters is not considered, promotion rate is termed as grade ratio andis treated as a crude indicator. Transition rates, also known as flow rates,can answer a variety of typical questions, such as ‘at which grade in thecycle is the repetition or dropout rate highest’; ‘who tends to drop outand repeat more frequently, boys or girls’; and ‘what is the totalaccumulated loss of students through drop out’. The answers to thesequestions can be obtained, if flow rates for different target groups andfor each grade are computed. The following set of data is required forcalculating flow rates at primary level:l Grade-specific enrolment for Grades I, II, III, IV, V and VI (for 2005-06only) for at least two consecutive years, say 2004-05 and 2005-06;
30 Student Flow at Primary LevellandGrade-specific repeaters for Grades I, II, III, IV, V and VI in the latestyear, say 2005-06.The rates can be computed by using the following formulae:Promotion RateNumber of student's promoted to Grade 'g + 1' in year 't + 1'= × 100Total number of students in Grade 'g' in year 't'In notations, it is expressed by the following equation:t+1g+ 1t ×gPt(pg) = 100ERepetition RateNumber of repeaters in Grade '=tEgg' in year ' t+ 1'× 100Drop-out Ratet+1gtgRt(rg) = × 100ENumber of student's dropping-out from Grade 'g' in year 't'= × 100Etgtg ×gtDg(d ) =tEBy using two year’s enrolment data not only grade-to-grade repetition,drop-out and promotion rates can be obtained, but average of these ratesat primary level of education can also be worked out. The average indicatesvalue of these rates during the intermediary period, i.e. between twoyears on the basis of which grade-to-grade rates are worked out. Theaverage rates are also known as overall rates. The computational procedureis presented below.100
