What the numbers say
In 2017, British Virgin Islands' over-age students, primary, female (% of female enrollment) rose 0.47 percentage points on 2016 (from 3.17% to 3.64%).
Across the 17 yearly changes before that (1984 to 2016), the average change was +0.2 percentage points and a typical year strayed about 2.71 percentage points from that (the standard deviation). 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 6.33 percentage points in 2002 and the biggest yearly fall was 6.12 percentage points in 2000. 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 2017 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 15% 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.
