Over five years it is up 5.29 percentage points from 64.43% in 2012. Since 2000 it is up 22.38 percentage points from 47.34% in 2000. The World Bank has no value for 4 of the years in between; the chart leaves those gaps open rather than joining across them.
What the numbers say
In 2017, Honduras' net intake rate in grade 1 (% of official school-age population) rose 0.78 percentage points on 2016 (from 68.94% to 69.72%).
Across the 9 yearly changes before that (2004 to 2016), the average change was +2.31 percentage points and a typical year strayed about 2.78 percentage points from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.5 standard deviations below 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 6.29 percentage points in 2004 and the biggest yearly fall was 2.89 percentage points in 2013. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2008 to 2017 the straight-line trend is upward, about 1.5 percentage points a year. A straight line explains 89% of the movement over 10 observed years.

What this measures
Net intake rate in grade 1 is the number of new entrants in the first grade of primary education who are of official primary school entrance age, expressed as a percentage of the population of the corresponding 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.
