Liechtenstein: Secondary education, vocational pupils

Key figures

What the numbers say

In 2017, Liechtenstein's secondary education, vocational pupils fell 31 on 2016 (from 1,151 to 1,120).

Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1977 to 2016), the average change was −2.53 and a typical year strayed about 26.02 from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 1.1 standard deviations below 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 64 in 2006 and the biggest yearly fall was 77 in 2005. 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 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 15% 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.
