What the numbers say
In 2017, Russian Federation's secondary education, general pupils rose 5.2% on 2016 (from 8.05 million to 8.47 million).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1985 to 2016), the average change was −0.9% and a typical year strayed about 3.8% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 1.6 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 5.2% in 2017 and the biggest yearly fall was 9.7% 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 less than 1% 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.
