What the numbers say
In 2018, IBRD only's secondary education, vocational pupils rose 0.9% on 2017 (from 43.4 million to 43.8 million).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1988 to 2017), the average change was +2% and a typical year strayed about 2.8% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.4 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 18.7% in 1986 and the biggest yearly fall was 3.9% in 1985. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2009 to 2018 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 21% of the movement over 10 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.
