They called them social promotions back in my day.
This was when a student was too old to be in that grade.
We had a 23 year old who dropped out and returned only to repeat his junior year 3 times until he was socially promoted only to do the same in his senior year. Yes he dropped out at 16 returned just before his 18th birthday and "Graduated" just before his 24th birthday
His failings were primarily from absenteeism, however if they would have tested him he could pass any test. He was finally given a diploma and "Graduated", he went on to run the best Auto Repair shop in our area until he was killed in a motorcycle wreck.
The Educational systems need to be overhauled and revamped for modern times. Make online learning available and we might have more graduates or at least keep more kids interested in learning. The way our students access learning needs to hold their attention.
Some adult in front of a class is not going to do it unless they all have shock collars and he has the button to shock them.
