Key figures

What the numbers say

In 2025, Kyrgyz Republic's children out of school, primary, female fell 7.3% on 2024 (from 9,013 to 8,359).

This year's change was 0.2 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 69.8% in 2020 and the biggest yearly fall was 39.3% in 2004. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.

From 2016 to 2025 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 8% of the movement over 9 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.
