What the numbers say
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 0.27 percentage points in 2002 and the biggest yearly fall was 0.34 percentage points in 1996. 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 less than 1% of the movement over 8 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.

What this measures
Female pupils as a percentage of total pupils at primary level include enrollments in public and private schools.
