Answer:

Higher

Step-by-step explanation:

Latin America has so many countries in poverty, very few can afford to get a good education. Most of the people living in Latin America are illiterate.

It is Higher

The average adult literacy rates in Latin America and the Caribbean amounted to nearly 93.9 percent. With this number, the share of people aged 15 or older who could read and write in this region was almost eight percentage points higher than the worldwide average.
