Grenada: Secondary education, teachers, female

Key figures

Since 1971 it is up 645.71% from 70 in 1971 (3.86% a year on average, compounded). The World Bank has no value for 27 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, teachers, female rose 12.3% on 2023 (from 465 to 522).

Across the 16 yearly changes before that (1972 to 2023), the average change was +5.3% and a typical year strayed about 9.1% 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 21.4% in 1972 and the biggest yearly fall was 8.2% in 2004. 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 3% of the movement over 8 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.
