Literacy rate, adult total (% of people ages 15 and above), 2004–2019. 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 6 of the 16 years between 2004 and 2019 for Sierra Leone. The missing 10 are drawn as gaps, because a gap is what they are.
