1 in 20 is not 25% .

Clearly you have your own reading difficulty,

We'll see who has the reading difficulty.

so let me pick out the bit you didn't find.....

"Some 23 percent of 16- to 18-year-olds are at literacy level 1
or below, while the same figure is 19 percent for the older age
group."

IIRC Fredxxx mentioned 20 to 25% which seems accurate.

His 20-25% was of native adults WHO CANT READ OR WRITE,
not those with a literacy level of 1 or below.
