In terms of education, an overall index of 0.97 also makes Greece the leading country in the region, although its adult literacy rate is lower than that of most of the other SEE nations, including Albania, where 98.7% of people above 15 are literate.
U pogledu obrazovanja sveukupan indeks od 0,97 takođe stavlja Grčku na čelo regiona, mada je stopa pismenosti odraslih niža nego u mnogim drugim zemljama jugoistočne Evrope, uključujući Albaniju gde je 98,7 odsto ljudi preko 15 godina starosti pismeno.
