Highlights: Over-age attendance is increasing but remains under-studied in South Asia. Children fall behind by entering pre-primary or primary late, and by repeating a grade during/after primary school. Rural location, thin and uneducated mothers predicted late pre-primary entry. Educational research and interventions need to focus on the earlier time-point of pre-primary. Improving maternal nutrition and education may ensure timely progression of children in school.
