Kyrgyz Republic: Secondary education, vocational pupils

Key figures

Over five years it is down 15.54% from 64,681 in 2013 (3.32% a year on average, compounded). Since 1981 it is up 6.7% from 51,200 in 1981 (0.18% a year on average, compounded). The World Bank has no value for 10 of the years in between; the chart leaves those gaps open rather than joining across them.

What the numbers say

In 2018, Kyrgyz Republic's secondary education, vocational pupils rose 3% on 2017 (from 53,024 to 54,632).

Across the 22 yearly changes before that (1990 to 2017), the average change was −0.2% and a typical year strayed about 7.8% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.4 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 17.8% in 2010 and the biggest yearly fall was 14.3% in 1990. 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.
