Literacy rate, adult total (% of people ages 15 and above), 1981–2019. 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 8 of the 39 years between 1981 and 2019 for Nepal. The missing 31 are drawn as gaps, because a gap is what they are.
