🎒 80% of Argentine Schools Lacked an Online Learning Platform
In 2018, Uruguay led Latin America's online learning support access in schools with 47% of schools equipped, aided by the Ceibal initiative to enhance digital resources and training. The Dominican Republic followed closely at 46%, with Chile at 38%. Argentina lagged at 19%, underscoring the need for enhanced investment in educational technology as emphasized by the OECD.
⚡ Spanish Share of Electricity From Renewables Up 10%
Between 2008 and 2022, Spain expanded renewable energy in its electricity mix, starting at 20% and peaking at 46.7% in 2021. Key policies, such as the National Action Plan for Renewable Energies, drove this growth, with renewables supplying over 40% of electricity after 2020. Spain aims for 81% renewable electricity by 2030, aligning with EU decarbonization goals despite grid stability challenges.
🌐 Data Breach in the US Costs $10M on Average
The United States incurred the highest data breach costs between March 2023 and February 2024, with an average of nearly $10M, followed by the Middle East at $9M and Benelux at $6M. Regions like ASEAN and Brazil reported lower costs, reflecting disparities shaped by regulatory and cybersecurity frameworks. Investments in AI-driven security and global regulations like the EU’s GDPR are critical responses to mounting breach expenses, supporting enhanced protection in an increasingly digital world.
