🎒 Primary School Completion Rates Have Increased by 10% Over the Past Two Decades

Between 2000 and 2020, primary school completion rates increased by 10%. This growth reflects global efforts to improve access to education, such as expanded school infrastructure, increased government funding, and various programs targeting barriers to education. These initiatives have contributed to higher enrollment and retention rates, ultimately boosting primary school completion.

🌞 Germany Leads EU in Solar PV Capacity with Over 65GW

Germany leads the EU with over 65GW of solar photovoltaic (PV) capacity. This stems from the country's strong commitment to renewable energy, considerable government subsidies, and powerful legislative frameworks that encourage solar adoption. Germany's more effective technological infrastructure and public backing for sustainable energy have also resulted in considerable investments in solar PV systems, further strengthening its position as a European leader.

🏿 Global Silicon Production Increased by Over 10% in 2021

Global silicon production increased by over 10% from 2020 to 2021, driven by rising demand in key industries such as electronics, solar energy, and automotive manufacturing. The increase reflects the growing need for silicon in semiconductors, solar panels, and electric vehicles. Enhanced production capabilities and increased investment in silicon manufacturing also contributed to this significant growth.
