🎓 >40% Fall in Polish Graduates From 2011 to 2021
The decline in university graduates in Poland, from 500K in 2011 to 300K in 2022, highlights significant challenges in higher education participation. In response, the Polish government has launched initiatives like the Strategy for Responsible Development and increased funding for research and education. Programs such as Friendly and Accessible Schools for All aim to enhance inclusivity, while efforts to internationalize universities seek to attract more students and improve academic quality.
🍃 Solar Made Up 60% of Japan’s Renewable Energy in 2023
As of March 2023, Japan had 3,874 solar power plants, making solar the leading renewable energy source, followed by 1,759 hydropower plants. The government aims for 36-38% of electricity from renewables by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2050. Initiatives like the Green Transformation Basic Policy and targets for wind energy expansion reflect Japan's commitment to sustainable energy and innovation, enhancing its renewable infrastructure while ensuring energy security.
