Another broad measure of the quality of educational output is youth literacy rate. Once again,
comparable assessment of literacy is unavailable for OIC countries. Therefore, self-reported
literacy data which is available for a wide range of OIC and other non-OIC countries has been
used. Figure 2.5 presents the average data for youths for the period 2011-2015 against the
average per capita income of sample countries for the period 2006-2010).
