Literacy rate, adult total (% of people ages 15 and above), 1979–2022. 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 9 of the 44 years between 1979 and 2022 for Benin. The missing 35 are drawn as gaps, because a gap is what they are.
