Literacy rate, adult total (% of people ages 15 and above), 1975–2021. 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 19 of the 47 years between 1975 and 2021 for Turkey. The missing 28 are drawn as gaps, because a gap is what they are.
