What the numbers say
In 2023, Romania's secondary education, teachers, female rose 0.6% on 2022 (from 91,787 to 92,343).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1993 to 2022), the average change was −0.1% and a typical year strayed about 2.7% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.3 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 6.2% in 1993 and the biggest yearly fall was 6.7% in 2003. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2014 to 2023 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 11% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.
