🎓 20% of Tertiary Students Studied Business in Tunisia in 2019
Tunisia's tertiary education saw 40K students enrolled in Business and Management and 35K in Engineering in 2019. Despite these numbers, skill mismatches led to youth unemployment rates reaching nearly 16% in 2023. To address this, the government has prioritized reforms through the Tertiary Education for Employability Project (TEEP), focusing on aligning education with labor market needs and enhancing graduate employability through private-sector partnerships.
🌞 2x Chile's Solar PV Capacity From 2021 to 2023
Chile's installed solar photovoltaic capacity rose from 547 MW in 2016 to over 6,000 MW in 2023, an eleven-fold increase. This growth reflects effective policies like the 2013 Non-Conventional Renewable Energy Law, targeting 20% renewable electricity by 2025. Chile aims for 70% renewables by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2050, supported by a $30 billion investment in energy generation, transmission, and storage infrastructure.
🧑⚕️ >20% of Nigerians Lack Vaccine Access
In 2021, over 20% of households in Nigeria did not have access to vaccinations, nearly 10% could not access maternity care, and 10% were not provided with adequate child health services. While healthcare access is improving in the country, it is still vital that the government address the ongoing disparities in healthcare access. Initiatives like Primary Healthcare Under One Roof and the CHIPS Programme seek to enhance service delivery. However, challenges like funding and corruption remain, necessitating focused strategies for vulnerable populations.
