Albania's primary education, pupils was 141,089 in 2024, the latest year in the World Bank's World Development Indicators. That is down 27.91% from 195,720 in 2014 (3.22% a year on average, compounded).
| Value | Year | |
|---|---|---|
| Latest | 141,089 | 2024 |
| Five years earlier | 167,104 | 2019 |
| Ten years earlier | 195,720 | 2014 |
| Highest | 303,632 | 1997 |
| Lowest | 141,089 | 2024 |
| Average since 2015 | 164,363 | 2015–2024 |
| First recorded | 293,723 | 1976 |
Over five years it is down 15.57% from 167,104 in 2019 (3.33% a year on average, compounded). Since 1976 it is down 51.97% from 293,723 in 1976 (1.52% a year on average, compounded). The World Bank has no value for 1 of the years in between; the chart leaves those gaps open rather than joining across them.
In 2024, Albania's primary education, pupils fell 4% on 2023 (from 146,962 to 141,089).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1994 to 2023), the average change was −2% and a typical year strayed about 4.5% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.4 standard deviations below that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 18.4% in 2009 and the biggest yearly fall was 6.5% in 2006. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2015 to 2024 the straight-line trend is downward, about 4,843 a year. A straight line explains 99% of the movement over 10 observed years.
Worked out from the yearly values above. How the checks work: standard deviation, z-scores and straight-line trends.
Extending that straight line gives about 126,424 for 2027. We show this only because the same method, fitted on earlier years, predicted 2022 to 2024 better than "no change" would have: its average miss was 3,500, against 11,131 for assuming no change. Treat it as a continuation of the recent pattern, not a forecast of events: it cannot see a recession, a policy change or a revision to the data.

In 2024, Albania had the 78th highest value of the 119 economies reporting that year. Higher is not always better: for some indicators the lowest value is the one to aim for. See the full ranking.
