Why would you have to repeat a school year?

You may have to repeat a school year if you do not meet the academic requirements set by your school, such as failing core subjects or not achieving the necessary credits. Additionally, poor attendance or lack of participation can also lead to a decision to repeat a grade. This measure is often taken to ensure that students have a solid foundation before moving on to more advanced material. Ultimately, the goal is to support the student's long-term academic success.
