Analysis# Georgia Literacy Rate
Georgia maintains an exceptionally high literacy rate of 99.68% in 2024, reflecting sustained educational achievement across the country. The current figure sits just 0.24 percentage points below the all-time peak of 99.918% recorded in 2021, and well above the lowest point of 99.36% in 2017. Over the past two decades since 2002, Georgia's literacy rate has remained virtually flat, with zero net change despite minor fluctuations, indicating a stable and entrenched education system.
A notable dip occurred between 2021 and 2023, when the rate fell from 99.918% to 99.56%—a sharp 0.358 percentage point decline. The 2024 figure of 99.68% suggests a modest recovery from this recent low. Georgia's near-universal literacy continues to distinguish it among global peers, though the recent volatility warrants monitoring to determine whether 2024 marks a genuine stabilization or another temporary uptick.
