What the numbers say
In 2017, Kyrgyz Republic's expenditure on tertiary education (% of government expenditure on education) rose 0.01 percentage points on 2016 (from 3.02% to 3.03%).
Across the 16 yearly changes before that (1995 to 2016), the average change was −0.51 percentage points and a typical year strayed about 2.99 percentage points from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.2 standard deviations above 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 5.73 percentage points in 1996 and the biggest yearly fall was 8.14 percentage points in 2014. 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 downward, about 1.7 percentage points a year. A straight line explains 89% of the movement over 8 observed years.
Worked out from the yearly values above. How the checks work: standard deviation, z-scores and straight-line trends.
A straight-line projection, tested first
Extending that straight line gives about -1.08% for 2020. We show this only because the same method, fitted on earlier years, predicted 2014 to 2017 better than "no change" would have: its average miss was 6.58%, against 9.21% for assuming no change. Treat it as a continuation of the recent pattern, not a forecast of events: it cannot see a recession, a policy change or a revision to the data.

What this measures
Expenditure on tertiary education is expressed as a percentage of total general government expenditure on education. General government usually refers to local, regional and central governments.
Limitations: Data disaggregated by level of education are estimates in some instances. It is often difficult to separate lower from upper secondary education expenditure, or pre-primary from primary.
Regional and income-group figures are computed by the World Bank as a median.
