Notes:               Adult (15+) literacy rate (%). Total is the percentage of the
                     population age 15 and above who can, with understanding, read and
                     write a short, simple statement on their everyday life. Generally,
                     'literacy' also encompasses 'numeracy', the ability to make simple
                     arithmetic calculations. This indicator is calculated by dividing the
                     number of literates aged 15 years and over by the corresponding age
                     group population and multiplying the result by 100.
