Over five years it is down 5.69 percentage points from 99.63% in 2012. Since 1995 it is up 6.9 percentage points from 87.03% in 1995. The World Bank has no value for 12 of the years in between; the chart leaves those gaps open rather than joining across them.
What the numbers say
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 3.58 percentage points in 1996 and the biggest yearly fall was 4.06 percentage points in 2014. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2010 to 2017 the straight-line trend is downward, about 1.05 percentage points a year. A straight line explains 81% of the movement over 8 observed years.

What this measures
Adjusted net enrollment is the number of pupils of the school-age group for primary education, enrolled either in primary or secondary education, expressed as a percentage of the total population in that age group.
Limitations: Enrollment indicators are based on annual school surveys, but do not necessarily reflect actual attendance or dropout rates during the year. Also, the length of education differs across countries and can influence enrollment rates, although the International Standard Classification of Education (ISCED) tries to minimize the difference. For example, a shorter duration for primary education tends to increase the rate; a longer one to decrease it (in part because older children are more at risk of dropping out). Moreover, age at enrollment may be inaccurately estimated or misstated, especially in communities where registration of births is not strictly enforced.
Regional and income-group figures are computed by the World Bank as a weighted average.
