What are the indicators of educational achievement in a country?

Question

Accepted Answer

Education makes a person well equipped with skills. The prime indicator of educational achievement is the income earning capacity of an individual. Besides this:
- **Adult Literacy Rate:** Percentage of literate adult population aged 15 years and above. It provides a measure of the stock of literate persons within the adult population.
- **Youth Literacy Rate:** Percentage of literate people between the age of 15-24. Higher youth literacy rate means higher educational achievement.
- **Primary Education Completion Rate:** Percentage of students completing the last year of primary school (classes 1-8, age 6-14). Lower primary education completion rate leads to lower youth and adult literacy rates.
