What the numbers say
In 2023, Azerbaijan's current education expenditure, tertiary (% of total expenditure in tertiary public institutions) fell 13.13 percentage points on 2022 (from 96.8% to 83.67%).
Across the 20 yearly changes before that (2001 to 2022), the average change was −0.12 percentage points and a typical year strayed about 5.41 percentage points from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 2.4 standard deviations below that average, so it was unusually large compared with the rest of the record.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 16.54 percentage points in 2020 and the biggest yearly fall was 16.35 percentage points in 2019. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2014 to 2023 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 26% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.
Worked out from the yearly values above. How the checks work: standard deviation, z-scores and straight-line trends.

What this measures
Current expenditure is expressed as a percentage of direct expenditure in public educational institutions (instructional and non-instructional) of the specified level of education. Financial aid to students and other transfers are excluded from direct expenditure. Current expenditure is consumed within the current year and would have to be renewed if needed in the following year. It includes staff compensation and current expenditure other than for staff compensation (ex. on teaching materials, ancillary services and administration).
Limitations: The indicator depends on comprehensive and accurate data regarding government expenditure by type and nature of spending. In some cases, data on total government expenditure on education only includes the Ministry of Education, excluding other ministries that may also allocate part of their budget to educational services.
Regional and income-group figures are computed by the World Bank as a median.
