Kingdom's illiteracy to drop to 4.5% by 2025
The Kingdom of Jordan has witnessed a significant decline in the literacy rate, decreasing from 11% in 2000 to 4.5% in 2025, according to the results of the 2025 Labor Force Survey. This progress reflects the success of educational policies, especially among the youth, where the illiteracy rate stands at 0.7% among the 15-24 age group. Challenges remain among the elderly, among whom the illiteracy rate reaches 21.7%. The government aims to further reduce illiteracy and support the most vulnerable groups, as part of global efforts to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals and prevent the spread of illiteracy among the elderly by 2030.
