What the numbers say
In 2024, Bahrain's secondary education, teachers, female rose 1.3% on 2023 (from 5,313 to 5,384).
Across the 20 yearly changes before that (1978 to 2023), the average change was +5.1% and a typical year strayed about 5.5% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.7 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 18.7% in 1982 and the biggest yearly fall was 0.9% in 1995. 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 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 8% of the movement over 9 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.
