What the numbers say
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 10.98 percentage points in 1985 and the biggest yearly fall was 17.39 percentage points in 1986. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2007 to 2016 the straight-line trend is upward, about 2.8 percentage points a year. A straight line explains 94% of the movement over 9 observed years.
Worked out from the yearly values above. How the checks work: standard deviation, z-scores and straight-line trends.
A straight-line projection, tested first
Extending that straight line gives about 111.01% for 2019. We show this only because the same method, fitted on earlier years, predicted 2013 to 2016 better than "no change" would have: its average miss was 1.83%, against 7.64% for assuming no change. Treat it as a continuation of the recent pattern, not a forecast of events: it cannot see a recession, a policy change or a revision to the data.

What this measures
Gross intake ratio in first grade of primary education is the number of new entrants in the first grade of primary education regardless of age, expressed as a percentage of the population of the official primary entrance age.
Limitations: The quality of data is affected when new entrants and repeaters are not correctly distinguished in the first grade of primary education. Caution is also needed for countries with a total population under 100,000 since the United Nations Population Division neither publish nor endorse single-age data for those countries. The data are highly subject to fluctuations in migration and other factors.
Regional and income-group figures are computed by the World Bank as a weighted average.
