🎓 >70% Gross Tertiary Attendance in Brazil
Brazil’s gross attendance ratio in tertiary education rose from over 50% in 2014 to 70% in 2023, driven by government goals in the National Education Plan (PNE) 2014–2024 to expand access and reduce inequalities. Key policies like the University for All Program (PROUNI), offering scholarships to low-income students, and the Student Financing Fund (FIES), providing subsidized loans, have significantly boosted higher education participation and affordability.
🍃 >4.5M Solar Photovoltaic Jobs from China
In 2023, China employed over 7M people in renewable energy, led by solar PV, hydropower, and wind. This growth supports China’s carbon neutrality goal by 2060 and is driven by policies like the Renewable Energy Law and the Energy Conservation and Emission Reduction Plan, which promote clean energy development, industry growth, and emission reductions across the renewable sector.
⚕️ Registered US Dentists Count Reached 6 per 10K People
Between 2010 and 2022, the number of US dentists remained stable at roughly 5.9 to 6 per 10K people. Despite this, federal and state entities aim to expand the dental workforce, especially in underserved areas. HRSA identified over 10K dentist shortage nationwide, highlighting the ongoing need for workforce expansion. The Workforce Investment and Opportunities Act (WIOA) funds dental education at health centers. States also offer incentives like scholarships and loan repayment programs to attract dentists to high-need communities, addressing oral health disparities.
