What the numbers say

In 2024, Chad's secondary education, teachers, female fell 20.1% on 2023 (from 3,009 to 2,404).

This year's change was 1.8 standard deviations below that average, so it was larger than a typical year, though not out of the range seen before.

On record, the biggest yearly rise was 44.5% in 2011 and the biggest yearly fall was 20.1% in 2024. 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 the straight-line trend is upward, about 180.62 a year. A straight line explains 86% of the movement over 8 observed years.
