What the numbers say

In 2018, Montenegro's secondary education, vocational pupils rose 1.8% on 2017 (from 18,723 to 19,056).

This year's change was 1.8 standard deviations above 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 1.8% in 2018 and the biggest yearly fall was 4.2% in 2016. 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 the straight-line trend is downward, about 376.98 a year. A straight line explains 89% of the movement over 8 observed years.
