What the numbers say
In 2022, IDA only's trained teachers in primary education (% of total teachers) rose 1.09 percentage points on 2021 (from 70.25% to 71.34%).
Across the 21 yearly changes before that (2001 to 2021), the average change was −0.21 percentage points and a typical year strayed about 0.99 percentage points from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 1.3 standard deviations above that average, so it was larger than a typical year, though not out of the range seen before.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 2.14 percentage points in 2017 and the biggest yearly fall was 2.09 percentage points in 2010. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2013 to 2022 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 20% 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.

What this measures
Trained teachers in primary education are the percentage of primary school teachers who have received the minimum organized teacher training (pre-service or in-service) required for teaching in a given country.
Limitations: This indicator does not take into account differences in teachers' experiences and status, teaching methods, teaching materials, and classroom conditions - all factors that affect the quality of teaching and learning. Some teachers without formal training may have acquired equivalent pedagogical skills through professional experience. In addition, national standards regarding teacher qualifications and pedagogical skills may vary.
Regional and income-group figures are computed by the World Bank as a weighted average.
