Apparently 54% of American adults read at or below a sixth-grade level nationwide. I’d say AGI is kinda here already.

Does a country failed education system has anything to do with AGI?

What percentage of those people could never read above a certain grade level? Could 100% of humans eventually, with infinite resources and time, all be geniuses? Could they read and comprehend all the works produced by mankind?

I'm curious.

No but they could probably read better. Just look at the best education systems in the world and propagate that. Generally, all countries should be able to replicate that.
