Could the government be lying about illiteracy?

Katy says:
"Just to cite some important examples, our country had the honour in 2005 of having been declared officially by UNESCO as an illiteracy-free territory." Mary Pili Hernández, Venezuela's Vice-Minister for Foreign Affairs

"
UNESCO has not endorsed or made any statement to the effect that Venezuela is free of illiteracy." Sue Williams, UNESCO's Chief of Section of Bureau of Public Information, Paris.
