Some of the indicators of Educational achievement in a country are:
1. Primary Education Completion Rate: This rate shows the percentage of students who have completed last year of primary education. It includes students who studied in class 1 to 8 and are between the age group 6 to 14 years. It has been shown that lower primary education completion rate is instrumental in lower youth literacy rate and correspondingly lower adult literacy rate.
2. Youth Literacy Rate: This highlights the rate of literate people between the ages 15-24 who are able to read and write. As youth are the pillar of a nation, the more this segment is educated, more will be the development of the nation.
3. Adult Literacy Rate: It refers to all the literate population who are more than 15 years of age. It is expressed as a percentage and the more higher the literacy rate, more will be the employment opportunities. This category is very important as a literate population will be better equipped to perform many tasks. It is an important indicator that indicates the number people who can actively participate in economic development activity.
