Literacy Day, which falls on September 8, was designated by UNESCO to
celebrate advancements made in global literacy rates, and to highlight the
chasm that still exists between education standards in different parts of the
world. While in recent decades huge strides have been made in reducing
illiteracy in low-income countries, 30 percent of adults from these regions
will still be illiterate by 2030, according to UNESCO.
Here's a look at the change in adult
literacy around the world from 1987-2016.
