What the numbers say
In 2018, Indonesia's school enrollment, primary and secondary (gross), gender parity index (GPI) fell 0.00025 on 2017 (from 0.99 to 0.99).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1978 to 2017), the average change was +0.00385 and a typical year strayed about 0.01 from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.3 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 0.04 in 1975 and the biggest yearly fall was 0.02 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 2009 to 2018 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 13% 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.
