What is the litercay in Mexico?

According to the 2020 census, the literacy rate in Mexico is 94.9%. This means that 94.9% of the population aged 15 and above can read and write. This is a significant increase from the literacy rate of 73.8% in 1950.

The literacy rate in Mexico varies by region and gender. The highest literacy rates are in the northern states, such as Baja California (98.4%) and Sonora (97.8%), while the lowest rates are in the southern states, such as Chiapas (86.7%) and Oaxaca (87.1%). Women have a higher literacy rate (95.7%) than men (94.1%).

The Mexican government has made significant efforts to improve literacy rates in the country. These efforts include:

* The National Literacy Campaign (1970-1982): This campaign aimed to reduce the illiteracy rate by providing basic literacy skills to adults.

* The National Education Program (1992-2000): This program focused on improving the quality of education at all levels, including literacy.

* The National Literacy Crusade (2001-2006): This campaign aimed to reduce the illiteracy rate by 50% by 2006.

As a result of these efforts, the literacy rate in Mexico has increased significantly in recent decades. However, there is still work to be done to achieve universal literacy.
