Guatemala's adult literacy rate
- Workforce, education and talent
- The labor force, in numbers
- Audited
The World Bank (indicator SE.ADT.LITR.ZS, sourced from UNESCO UIS) reports adult literacy (15 and over) of 82.1% in 2024 and 83.0% in 2022–2023; that is, close to one adult in six cannot read or write. The figure is modeled; the official rate from the national literacy committee (CONALFA) could not be located and is listed as pending research. For the population aged 7 and over, the Q4 2024 ENEIC records that 20.5% have no level of education.
The research is written in English; quoted figures, source names and the titles of legal instruments stay in the language their source published them in.

This layer is research: read from public sources by the archive's own team, every claim cited with the date it was consulted, and audited where it is marked so. It has not entered the verified store — no figure here was fetched back from its source or stamped with a retrieval time — so it wears no red provenance numeral and never mixes with the verified figures.
