🏫 30% Fewer German Secondary Schools From 2010 to 2021
The decline in secondary schools in Germany, from 2,593 in 2010/11 to 1,724 in 2021/22, reflects demographic changes and resource optimization. In response, the government has initiated reforms like the "Agreement on the Common Basic Structure of the School System" to ensure equitable access to education. Additionally, initiatives such as the "Pact for Vocational Schools" aim to strengthen vocational training and address teacher shortages, enhancing overall educational quality and engagement.
⚡ Natural Gas Generated >30% of Turkey's Electricity in 2021
In 2021, Turkey's electricity generation was led by natural gas at 33%, followed by coal at 18% and hydropower at 16%. Renewable sources like wind at 9% and solar at 4% are growing, reflecting Turkey's shift towards sustainable energy. The government aims to increase renewables significantly by 2035, investing $108B in energy efficiency and infrastructure, while also developing the Akkuyu nuclear power plant to diversify energy sources and reduce carbon emissions.
⚕️ Argentinian Life Expectancy at Birth Reached 75
Life expectancy in Argentina rose from 76.12 years in 2011 to 77.28 years in 2019, but dropped to 75.39 years in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In response, the government aims to achieve Universal Health Coverage and has increased the health budget significantly. Initiatives include improving mental health services and implementing the National Digital Health Strategy, alongside a $200M loan from the IDB to enhance healthcare access and quality post-pandemic.
