Literacy > Definition: This entry includes a definition of literacy and Census Bureau percentages for the total population, males, and females.

Detailing the standards that individual countries use to assess the ability to read and write is beyond the scope of our source. Information on literacy, while not a perfect measure of educational results, is probably the most easily available and valid for international comparisons.
