If you didn’t look at this list and ask “Why did they pick these countries and leave out others?” you’re not doing critical thinking. The countries with the highest literacy in the world are almost all either socialist or formerly socialist countries.
It’s an OECD report. They’re comparing to OECD countries and I’d take the Polish numbers with a grain of salt as they have quite a couple fewer refugees, modulo Ukrainians (Ukraine has an education system ballpark Greece or Italy).
Public school and universal literacy was literally invented in Germany (Luther was lobbying princes for it so people could read the bible).
Not sure what that has to do with the American literacy rate? Also the reason those countries are on the list is because it only uses oecd member countries (the dark blue ones).

The chart on page 4 seems to put the US literacy rate at about the same as Germany and the UK.

Hexbear blocks externally hosted images so I can’t see that. Can you edit it and put it in the instance properly with copy paste?
Ahh yes, the “international community”.
