Palestine's Illiteracy Rates Among Lowest
Data issued by the Central Bureau of Statistics indicate that illiteracy rates in Palestine for 2025 are among the lowest worldwide, standing at 2.1% among individuals aged 15 and above. In the Gaza Strip, the illiteracy rate has decreased significantly, reaching 1.9% due to continuous progress over recent years, despite widespread destruction of educational infrastructure areas and the impact on thousands of students caused by ongoing aggression since 2023. In the West Bank, the illiteracy rate is slightly higher at 2.1%, with variations across age groups—rising to 17.5% among seniors (65 years and older) and dropping to 0.8% among youth (15-29 years). Despite the notable decline in illiteracy rates in Gaza, ongoing aggression threatens educational opportunities and poses a risk to future educational statistics.
