I dont see what your point is. Most arab countries are rather
new, have been under turkish colonial yoke and so on. Have other
trouble. And we do know that in most developing countries
illiteracy exists.
also
While illiteracy affects the entire Arab world, the more highly
populated countries -- such as Egypt, Sudan, Algeria and Morocco --
are particularly vulnerable.
those are african countries fyi. maybe that's a reason. and the
picture in that article is of baghdad, i guess there's no need to
explain why life is difficult there or in palestine. eh? thx to usa
uk israel.
But does literacy rate mean anythign in this argument? Should we
drag china into the picture? No need for that. Let's compare
singapore and brunei's literacy rates. and north korea's too.
Singapore

definition: age 15 and over can read and write
total population: 92.5%
Korea, North
Literacy:

total population: 99%
Brunei
