The effective promotion rate for grade Gi and year t is defined as the ratio between promotes from grade Gi to the next grade Gi+1 between school years t and t+1 and the number of students enrolled in grade Gi each year who do not repeat that grade the following year.
| 4 +2 | school year t / next school year (the one after "the school year t", whichever is the value of "t") |

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

school year t / next school year (the one after "the school year t", whichever is the value of "t")
The key is in the "+1"
"school years t" is any given school year, while the year "t+1" is simply the next one.
BTW it is NOT meant to be replaced in the text - it's not any kind placeholder - this is the "final" version of the text.
It's just the writer playing with maths jargon by using "between school years t and t+1" instead of the plain-speak "between any given school year and the following/next one"

: l'explication est dans la phrase : grade Gi to the next grade Gi+1 between school years t and t+1

: Yes, I explained the same thing at the other question about Gi - I did not see this question before I posted my answer there. https://www.proz.com/kudoz/english/education-pedagogy/704393...

It looks like it is a variable being used as a placeholder in the text...meaning that the number may change depending on the context...basically the same as saying Grade X and Year Y. As an example, Gi might stand for Grade 8, which would make Gi + 1 equal to Grade 9. Similarly t might be the year 2020, which would make t + 1 equal to 2021. But if t is 1999 (for example), then t + 1 would be the year 2000.
This is probably a piece of code associated with the text, which would allow one to specify somewhere that Gi = Grade 8 (or whatever grade), while t = 2021 (or whatever year)...so that the document does not have to be edited by hand every time a change needs to be made. For another purpose Gi may equal another grade, and t another year.
