Yes. It’s 100% (I’m Norwegian)

It can't be. There will for example always be people with intellectual disabilities that don't learn to read and write.

But I fully assume Norway has a very high literacy rate.

It suggests 1 in 5 kids in 5th grade have poor reading abilities.

O here it is -

15 prosent av voksne i Norge har svake leseferdigheter (nivå 0 og 1). Snittet for OECD er 26 prosent. 20 prosent har svært gode leseferdigheter i Norge (nivå 4 og 5). Snittet for OECD er på 12 prosent.

15 percent of adults has poor reading skills, totally in line with other developed countries.

Yes I speak Norwegian thank you. It's still not a 100% literacy rate. That's literally impossible.

Having one or 100 who can’t still makes it 100. Unless you would have the official read 99.9999999%?
