A total of 32,827 high school students, or 16%, failed the national exams in 2007, which forced them to repeat eighth grade. This is compounded by the fact that 15,000 students failed to finish the eighth grade because they dropped out or were unable to reach the minimum 65% score needed in order to take the national exams. Of the 205,173 students who took the national exams in 2007, 183,976, or 89.6%, performed dismally and were forced to retake the exams later in the year.
