| Value | Year | |
|---|---|---|
| Latest | 1.12% | 2017 |
| Five years earlier | 1.06% | 2012 |
| Ten years earlier | 1.46% | 2007 |
| Highest | 7.37% | 1979 |
| Lowest | 0% | 1998 |

Over five years it is up 0.06 percentage points from 1.06% in 2012. Since 1971 it is down 4.52 percentage points from 5.64% in 1971. The World Bank has no value for 14 of the years in between; the chart leaves those gaps open rather than joining across them.
In 2017, United Kingdom's over-age students, primary, male (% of male enrollment) fell 0.02 percentage points on 2016 (from 1.13% to 1.12%).
Across the 29 yearly changes before that (1972 to 2016), the average change was −0.06 percentage points and a typical year strayed about 1.03 percentage points from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.0 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 2.71 percentage points in 2004 and the biggest yearly fall was 4.57 percentage points in 1980. 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 the straight-line trend is downward, about 0.01 percentage points a year. A straight line explains 44% of the movement over 10 observed years.
Worked out from the yearly values above. How the checks work: standard deviation, z-scores and straight-line trends.
In 2017, United Kingdom had the 54th highest value of the 66 economies reporting that year. Higher is not always better: for some indicators the lowest value is the one to aim for. See the full ranking.
