🏫 Stable Primary School Enrollment in Singapore
Primary school enrollment has stabilized in Singapore since 2019, despite an overall decline from 244,050 in 2013 to 235,120 in 2022. The government ensures universal access through the Compulsory Education Act, financial aid schemes like Edusave and ComCare, and inclusive policies for special needs students. These initiatives support Singapore’s goals of quality, accessible education, and align with national and global objectives for educational excellence and a knowledge-driven Singaporean economy.
🤖 50% Less AI Skill Outflow in Brazil in 2023
Between 2019 and 2023, Brazil faced a persistent net outflow of LinkedIn members with AI skills, at -0.09 per 10,000 in 2022. To address this talent drain, the government launched the National AI Strategy (2021) and the Brazilian Artificial Intelligence Plan (PBIA), investing more than $3B in training, innovation, and infrastructure. Policies include digital literacy programs, support for AI startups, public service adoption, and legislation to regulate AI systems and foster workforce development.
🏭 >1K Jobs Lost in US Coal and Petroleum Sector
As of March 2025, US Petroleum and Coal Products Manufacturing employment rose to 109,100 jobs, reflecting steady growth aligned with the IEA’s 3% global energy employment increase in 2023. This positive trend is supported by US policies promoting energy infrastructure investment by government entities such as Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM), carbon capture technologies, and the recent reclassification of coal as a critical mineral, aiming to balance job growth, energy security, and environmental goals in the evolving energy landscape.
