I believe they refer to forms of education other than the one you took, in which the student, upon failing to meet standards, continues to the next curricular year instead of taking the same year again, and remains at the lower tier of class education. Example, based on alphabetical grades: An F or a U in English Lit does not result in the same English lessons being taught again next year. It just means an F or a U. Leaving school with no grades above a D (or a 3 for modern UK grades) is possible.
Maybe, but it’s such a strange interpretation. It seems obvious that the top comment was referring to the student not passing a grade. Why assume that they are talking about something else where the concept doesn’t apply?
That is not a thing in most of the world.
Passing grades? Where is it not a thing?

Well obviously “most of the world.” What world are you from not passing grades?
What? I’ve had people in my class who didn’t pass (in Germany).
