A recent report reveals Bangladesh lacks accurate literacy rate statistics due to alleged data manipulation by the previous government. Against the backdrop of unreliable statistics, Bangladesh observes International Literacy Day 2025, emphasizing ‘Promoting literacy in the digital era’. Reports suggest the actual literacy rate may be below 50%, far from the reported 77.9%, due to alleged data manipulation by the previous government. While primary education has seen progress, older populations lag behind, and the interim government faces challenges in aligning with UNESCO’s modern literacy standards for a digital world.
The interim government’s adviser to the primary and mass education ministry, Bidhan Ranjan Roy Poddar, told New Age on September 4 that as per his assumption, the actual literacy rate in the country was below 50 per cent.
