Over five years it is down 15.07% from 1.6 million in 2012 (3.21% a year on average, compounded). Since 1981 it is up 508.72% from 223,100 in 1981 (5.15% a year on average, compounded). The World Bank has no value for 14 of the years in between; the chart leaves those gaps open rather than joining across them.

What the numbers say

In 2017, Uzbekistan's secondary education, vocational pupils fell 2.6% on 2016 (from 1.39 million to 1.36 million).

On record, the biggest yearly rise was 38.8% in 2005 and the biggest yearly fall was 10.7% in 1990. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
