Explanation:
Folks, I googled it and there are many references with respect to all our suggestions. I also found educational delay:

The growing consensus, I think, is bipartisan. Our bill came out of the committee almost unanimously. We believe accountability means finding out if the children are learning. Have they benefitted from the instruction or are they falling behind? We must look at those test scores and make sure they are brought up to speed. We must ask what can be done, at the earlier grades, to identify when children are falling behind? We must not let even one child fall behind.

Good luck,
Marijke

scolastic delays


Explanation:
Hi Kathleen, this is a tough one. I would use the term "scolastic delays" or turn it around and use "slow scolastic progress".
Best regards
