Since the realization of universal access to compulsory education, the literacy rate among China’s population aged 15–24 was high. The literacy rate between 2000 and 2015 remained stable, reaching 99.6 per cent in 2015, a significant increase from 2000. There were some differences between urban and rural areas, and between males and females in 2015, but these were not as significant as the differences in 2000.
