Jordan illiteracy drops to 4.5%
The illiteracy rate in Jordan decreased from 11% in 2000 to 4.5% in 2025, according to data from the Central Statistics Bureau. This is a significant achievement that reflects the government's efforts to improve access to education, especially among the 15-24 age group, which recorded the lowest illiteracy rate at 0.7%. Despite this progress, the illiteracy rate remains high among older age groups, reaching 21.7% among those over 65 years old, indicating challenges in providing education to the elderly. The data confirms that literacy efforts continue to aim at reducing the gap and promoting education for all, which is one of the indicators of the Sustainable Development Goals that Jordan strives to achieve by 2030.
