The table compares literacy rates across six countries—USA, Canada, Germany, Japan, India, and Brazil—in 2010. The literacy rate is expressed as a percentage, reflecting the proportion of people who can read and write.
Overall, the developed nations (USA, Canada, Germany, and Japan) demonstrated near-universal literacy, with rates ranging from 98% to 99%. Germany, Japan, and the USA recorded the highest literacy rate at 99%, while Canada followed closely at 98%. In contrast, the developing nations, Brazil and India, showed significantly lower literacy rates, with Brazil at 93% and India at 74%.
This stark difference highlights the gap in educational access and quality between developed and developing countries. In developed nations, government investments, widespread access to education, and advanced infrastructure contribute to higher literacy. Meanwhile, India’s comparatively low rate reflects challenges such as poverty, lack of educational facilities, and gender disparities in schooling, particularly in rural areas.
In conclusion, the data underscores the importance of prioritizing educational development in less-developed nations to bridge the global literacy gap. （166 Words）
