  Many recent studies emphasize how important the role of cognitive and
social-emotional skills can be in determining people's quality of life.
Although skills are of great importance in many aspects, in this paper we will
focus our efforts to better understand the relationship between several types
of skills with academic progress delay. Our dataset contains the same students
in 2012 and 2017, and we consider that there was a academic progress delay for
a specific student if he or she progressed less than expected in school grades.
Our methodology primarily includes the use of a Bayesian logistic regression
model and our results suggest that both cognitive and social-emotional skills
may impact the conditional probability of falling behind in school, and the
magnitude of the impact between the two types of skills can be comparable.
