Key figures

What the numbers say

In 2024, Monaco's secondary education, teachers rose 14.2% on 2023 (from 445 to 508).

Across the 10 yearly changes before that (1972 to 2023), the average change was +7.1% and a typical year strayed about 18.1% 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 56.9% in 1972 and the biggest yearly fall was 6.1% in 2023. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.

From 2015 to 2024 the straight-line trend is upward, about 10.93 a year. A straight line explains 72% of the movement over 9 observed years.
