Literacy rate, adult total (% of people ages 15 and above), 1976–2023. 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 7 of the 48 years between 1976 and 2023 for Tonga. The missing 41 are drawn as gaps, because a gap is what they are.
