What the numbers say
In 2018, Bolivia's gross intake ratio in first grade of primary education, male (% of relevant age group) fell 0.87 percentage points on 2017 (from 100.28% to 99.41%).

This year's change was 0.1 standard deviations above 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 4.31 percentage points in 2017 and the biggest yearly fall was 19.47 percentage points in 2009. 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 0.85 percentage points a year. A straight line explains 46% of the movement over 10 observed years.

What this measures
Gross intake ratio in first grade of primary education is the number of new entrants in the first grade of primary education regardless of age, expressed as a percentage of the population of the official primary entrance age.
Limitations: The quality of data is affected when new entrants and repeaters are not correctly distinguished in the first grade of primary education. Caution is also needed for countries with a total population under 100,000 since the United Nations Population Division neither publish nor endorse single-age data for those countries. The data are highly subject to fluctuations in migration and other factors.
Regional and income-group figures are computed by the World Bank as a weighted average.
