I'm from America and it isn't unusual for children to repeat the year in school if they aren't meeting standards. I've heard that students never repeat a year. There are no "grades" but it's which year of school you're in. The year of school you're in depends on the child's age. Is that correct? What do you do with kids who are falling behind? Do you keep promoting them to the next year in school? How does that work over there?

Nope, there are some who really need too, but they don't. But we do get skipped.

we live in scotland and in my childs school it is common for children to repeat a year, 3 children are in my childs class who are primary 4 but are in his p3 class as they weren't ready to move on, it depends on the school, their funding as outside classroom assistants can assist children who are falling behind within the class, but obviously this must be done before it is too late and money. children are assessed on their work and performance, as well as sitting tests in p2

Children In the UK don't repeat school years. If a child is developing slowly, they may start school a year later but they are never held back to repeat a year. If children are falling behind, they will work at a slower pace than the rest of the class or they may repeat the course the next year. They may also move to a different class but they stay with children their own age. In highschool, children who fall behind may sit the course over three years instead of two for example and if the fail, they will resit the course the year after, if they choose to do so. Hope this helps :)
