Literacy rate, adult total (% of people ages 15 and above), 1980–2021. Bars, not a line: a line drawn across a year the source does not report would invent an observation a reader could not tell from a measured one.

The World Bank reports 15 of the 42 years between 1980 and 2021 for Singapore. The missing 27 are drawn as gaps, because a gap is what they are.
