🏫 Singapore’s Primary Schools More Than Halved Between 1960 and 1990
Between 1960 and 1990, the number of primary schools in Singapore decreased by more than half, due to urbanization and population policies that consolidated schools to maximize resources. Following this period, the number of schools stabilized at about 180 due to a stable population and well-planned education infrastructure, enabling constant access to primary education without the need for further downsizing.
🍃 US Biomass and Renewable Waste Energy Capacity Fell by 12% From 2015 to 2022
Solid biomass and renewable waste energy capacity in the US peaked in 2015, driven by strong investments in renewable energy. However, from 2015 to 2022, capacity declined by 12% due to a shift towards more efficient and cost-effective renewable sources like solar and wind, as well as reduced incentives for biomass and waste energy projects, leading to decreased capacity.
🧠 Global Anxiety Disorder Prevalence at 4%
From 1990 to 2019, the global prevalence of anxiety disorders consistently remained at around 4%, showing little fluctuation over the three decades. Despite global changes and increasing awareness of mental health issues, the proportion of the population affected by anxiety disorders has neither significantly increased nor decreased, reflecting persistent underlying factors contributing to these conditions worldwide.
