Abstract

This study analyses the profile of children repeating at least one grade of primary school before grade 5 (CM1) in Côte d'Ivoire, using a sample of 8,372 pupils drawn from the 2009, 2014, and 2019 PASEC surveys and applying multilevel logit models. It highlights significant residential inequalities: Children living in rural areas are nearly 10 percentage points more likely to repeat a grade than those in urban areas. This gap is largely explained by observable characteristics such as age at school entry, involvement in extracurricular work, parental engagement (homework supervision, access to books), and school equipment.
