Los alumnos repetidores se reducen a la mitad en Baleares en 15 años

The rate of students repeating a grade in the Balearic Islands has decreased dramatically over the past fifteen years and is now below the national average. This decline is evident in both Compulsory Secondary Education (ESO) and Baccalaureate, reflecting a clear trend toward higher academic progression. The reduction is notably more pronounced in private and state-subsidized schools compared to public ones, and it also varies by gender, with lower repetition rates among girls. The main driver of this change has been the implementation of the LOMLOE law, which replaces automatic grade-repetition criteria with discretionary evaluation by teaching teams. By prioritizing students’ well-being and competency development over the accumulation of failed subjects, the new legislation promotes grade advancement without necessarily compromising academic rigor. Unions acknowledge that, although the law facilitates this process, the positive outcomes are also attributed to improvements in pedagogical strategies, personalized support, and institutional collaboration aimed at reducing school dropout rates. This transformation is significant for the open data movement, as it demonstrates how transparency in educational indicators enables the assessment of the real impact of public policies. Detailed data on grade repetition and promotion are essential for auditing the effectiveness of complex legislative reforms. Moreover, they highlight the need to disaggregate information by school type and demographic characteristics to identify inequalities, thereby facilitating evidence-based decision-making and promoting greater equity in the education system.
