What the numbers say
In 2017, Argentina's secondary education, general pupils rose 0.6% on 2016 (from 4.58 million to 4.61 million).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1977 to 2016), the average change was +4.1% and a typical year strayed about 7.3% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.5 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 36.6% in 1999 and the biggest yearly fall was 1.9% in 1976. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2008 to 2017 the straight-line trend is upward, about 67,853 a year. A straight line explains 97% 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 4.88 million for 2020. We show this only because the same method, fitted on earlier years, predicted 2015 to 2017 better than "no change" would have: its average miss was 15,689, against 115,059 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.
