Literacy was over 95% in 2010 in Indonesia. It takes 5 seconds to Google for it. Since most of Indonesia are Moslems, they learn to read the Koran at an early age. Yes, I know that small parts of Lombok are Hindus.

On Lombok material quality of life can vary quite a bit from one village to the next, as can their commitment to Islam.
