Stunting and academic trajectory in urban settings of Burkina Faso
The results show that schooling is affected in several ways for children who are stunted. The age at school entry of stunted children is more likely to be delayed. Also, being stunted is associated with higher incidence of grade repetition. However, the relationship between stunting and dropout was inconclusive.
