The text states that North Korea has a literacy rate of 100%, according to North Korea.
Infact verdict: Mostly True (65/100).
North Korea officially claims a 100% literacy rate, supported by sources like UNESCO and the CIA, which report rates over 99%. However, skepticism exists due to the secretive nature of the country and potential biases in reporting. While the claim is supported by official statistics, the lack of independent verification and external skepticism suggest caution in accepting the figure as entirely accurate.
