Mostly False
Earth
Almost two-thirds of adults globally are illiterate due to poor education quality.
Infact verdict: Mostly False (39/100).
The claim that almost two-thirds of the adult population on Earth is illiterate is incorrect. According to UNESCO, the global adult literacy rate is around 86%, meaning only about 14% are illiterate. The claim about poor quality education being the sole reason for illiteracy is an oversimplification. While education quality is a factor, other elements such as poverty, access to education, and socio-economic conditions also play significant roles. Without external evidence, these claims are assessed based on general knowledge and understanding of global literacy issues.
