[lg policy] State literacy question

[Emily McEwan-Fujita]

Has any state government ever claimed to have achieved 100% literacy in an
official state language among its population, measurable by a census or
other survey? I would highly doubt the claim, but I am interested in the
ideologies that would motivate such claims.

Also, can anyone suggest sources that would provide information on which
modern states have claimed the highest literacy rates among their
populations?

I am looking for cite-able sources, both for an article and for future
course lectures.

Thank you very much,

Emily McEwan-Fujita
