How to increase your country’s literacy rate in Victoria 3
The primary aspect that affects the literacy rate is your education level. If you improve your education investment and develop the institutions such as universities, your nation’s literacy rate will start improving.
To improve education access, you must put in levels in the educational institution. With the increase in levels, the literacy rate will rise over time.
You can access the educational institutions by going to the Politics icon. There you will find a tab stating ‘Institutions.’ You need to click on the tab to get the stats of your nation’s education level.
You must start putting points in your educational institutions. Initially, you have to pass the Education System Law. You can select any given school’s options: Religious, Private, or Public, to activate the law and start boosting your literacy rate. Moreover, try to emphasize Public schools more as they grow the literacy rate compared to other schools.
How to reach 100% literacy rate in Victoria 3
You can achieve a 100-percent literacy rate for your country in the game. That will only be possible once your Educational institution reaches level 5. However, the entire process involved is fairly complex.
Firstly, you need to gather a lot of Bureaucracy, which is the price you pay for obtaining levels of education. Moreover, you also need to unlock some technologies from your society’s Technology Tree.
Rationalism, Empiricism, and Dialectics are such technologies that will provide you with an opportunity to put points in each of them and reach level 3 in your educational institutions.
However, to further increase the institution level, you need to unlock the Human Rights technologies from the society tree. This technology will help you pass children’s rights laws essential for further improvement in the literacy rate.
You need to move to the Law tab present on the Politics screen and the law group showing Children’s Rights. You must pass two laws: Restricted Child Labour and Compulsory Primary Education.
The passing of these laws will boost your education level to 5 points. It simply means at five levels, every human in the future will be literate, and your nation will lead the development of advanced technologies.
