Students in the classroom Press Release/Associação Cresce DF In the Federal District, in 2022, the proportion of people aged 25 or over who finished compulsory basic education – that is, completed at least high school – reached 71.3% : the highest percentage in the country. The data is from the Continuous National Household Sample Survey (PNADC) of the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE), released this Wednesday (7). According to the study, last year there were 47,000 illiterate people aged 15 or over in Brasília. This is equivalent to an illiteracy rate of 1.9%, below the rate registered in Brazil, which is 5.6%. Compared to the other federation units, the DF had the lowest illiteracy rate. The largest are in the following states: Piauí: 14.8% Alagoas: 14.4% Paraíba: 13.6% The research shows that, in the DF, as in all of Brazil, illiteracy is directly associated with age. The older the population group, the greater the proportion of illiterates. In 2022, in the DF, there were 27,000 illiterates aged 60 or over, which is equivalent to an illiteracy rate of 7.6% for this age group. However, in younger age groups, there is a drop in illiteracy. According to the IBGE, these results indicate that the younger generations are having greater access to education and are becoming literate even as children. On the other hand, illiterates continue to be concentrated among the elderly and changes in the illiteracy rate for this group are largely due to demographic issues such as, for example, the aging of the population.
