Andorra: Secondary education, vocational pupils

Key figures

What the numbers say

In 2018, Andorra's secondary education, vocational pupils rose 49 on 2017 (from 439 to 488).

Across the 20 yearly changes before that (1972 to 2017), the average change was +11.2 and a typical year strayed about 22.61 from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 1.7 standard deviations above that average, so it was larger than a typical year, though not out of the range seen before.

On record, the biggest yearly rise was 55 in 2010 and the biggest yearly fall was 45 in 2012. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.

From 2009 to 2018 the straight-line trend is upward, about 15.61 a year. A straight line explains 70% 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.

A straight-line projection, tested first

Extending that straight line gives about 510.03 for 2021. We show this only because the same method, fitted on earlier years, predicted 2016 to 2018 better than "no change" would have: its average miss was 30.51, against 57.67 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.
