This chart, which is based only on those who are aged 15 years old and up, shows the TAR with
the highest percentage of illiterate persons (32%) compared to the other seven TAPS.
Huangnan and Ganzi also have high percentages in the 30% range. All other regions have
significantly lower percentages of illiteracy, ranging from the lowest in Ngawa (12%) to
Yushu (26%). In all regions, we see that females are far more likely to be illiterate,
comprising 57% or more of all illiterate adults aged 15 and up.View entire presentation
