๐Ÿ‘ถ 40% of Preschool Programs in Australia Were Free in 2023

Australian preschool fees vary widely, with nearly 50% ranging from $1-$4 per hour, the Northern Territory offering 55% free access, and 11% in the ACT exceeding $15. NSW is addressing this gap with fee relief and expansion plans, guided by the Early Years Strategy 2024-2034. The strategy targets universal, affordable access, empowering families and promoting educational equity through strategic investments.

โš•๏ธ 15% Drop in NHS Workforce Vacancies in England

NHS workforce vacancies in England peaked at 124K in 2022 before declining to 106K in 2024. The UK government's NHS Long Term Workforce Plan aims to address staffing pressures through increased training places and improved retention. It includes expanding medical and GP training, reducing turnover, and creating new roles to mitigate a projected shortfall of up to 360K staff by 2036/37.

๐Ÿค– >50 Machine Learning Models in the Industry Sector

In 2023, most notable machine learning models came from industry with 51 models, followed by industry-academia collaborations with 21 models. Global initiatives like the EUโ€™s Digital Europe Programme, the UKโ€™s AI Sector Deal, and Singaporeโ€™s AI Apprenticeship Programme support AI talent development. Expanding public-sector AI investment and workforce training aligns with national strategies to close the AI skills gap and enhance global competitiveness.
