"Retention" sounds simple and is not. This forty-minute webinar, run by the monitoring and evaluation team, covers how year-completion is defined across the education portfolio, how school registers are audited each term, and why some numbers deliberately lag.

The session includes the two questions we get asked most: why attendance dips are published raw, and what happens to a program whose indicators miss target two years running. Recordings and slides are posted on this page afterwards.

No prior knowledge is needed. If you fund education programs, evaluate them, or argue about them online, this is the session for you.
