Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Social promotion is the practice of promoting students to the next grade level, even if they have not met the academic requirements for that level. This is often done in an effort to keep students with their peers and avoid retention, but it can result in students graduating without the necessary skills and knowledge for success. Affirmative promotion is not a term commonly used in education and the other options, standardized promotion and equality promotion, do not accurately describe this practice.
