The repetition of a school year: when is it considered necessary?

Source Summary

The course ends and the closest horizon for students is the summer holidays, but a little further ahead, as the calendar moves forward, is starting a new school year in September and meeting up with friends again. Taking a step forward and, in some cases, changing stages. But there are a few students for whom these holidays will only be the prelude to Groundhog Day, as they finish the course knowing that the next one they will return to the same classroom, the same subjects, the same teachers, but with different classmates. While, years ago, it was a little-questioned reality, now many variables are considered before making a student repeat a year. In fact, in Catalonia, it is only applied in studied and exceptional cases and when it has been proven that it will be the most beneficial option for the student.
