Average years of schooling

Couple of months ago, I posted some charts showing that, according to the recently updated Barro and Lee database, Bangladesh has cut down on illiteracy noticeably since the late 1970s, and were performing better than our subcontinental cousins by 2010.  Couple of charts (based on the same database) over the fold show that these patterns hold for the average years of schooling among people aged 15 years or more.
