Is Pakistan a literacy rate?
What percent of Pakistan's citizens are literate?
In total adult literacy, Pakistan ranks 131st (58%) out of 196 countries.
Factually, no one knows the actual Literacy Rate of Pakistan. There hasn’t been a census to gather such data in 19 years. In 2017 however, Pakistan conducted it’s 6th census[1] of which the results haven’t been completely published yet.

Some think it is 58%, while some think it is 65%, but in the end, no one knows. It ranges from 90% in areas such as Peshawar, Islamabad to 20% in Rural Areas. Another reason why Pakistan’s literacy rate is quite relative is because only a person “Above the age of 10 who can read and write and perform basic mathematical calculation”[2] is considered literate while for comparison, in neighboring country India, a person “Above the age of 7 who can read or write and perform basic mathematical calculation” is considered literate.
