Grenada: Secondary education, pupils

Key figures

Since 1971 it is up 115.9% from 4,081 in 1971 (1.46% a year on average, compounded). The World Bank has no value for 11 of the years in between; the chart leaves those gaps open rather than joining across them.

What the numbers say

In 2024, Grenada's secondary education, pupils rose 7.3% on 2023 (from 8,209 to 8,811).

Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1979 to 2023), the average change was −1.3% and a typical year strayed about 10.1% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.8 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 103.4% in 1975 and the biggest yearly fall was 30.1% in 2022. 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 26% 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.
