In Germany, student enrollment in general education schools declined from 10.1M in 1999 to 8.3M in 2020, but rose to 8.82M by 2024\. The government supports this trend with initiatives like "[Education in the Digital World](https://www.dipf.de/en/institute/dipf/area-of-focus/education-in-the-digital-world?ref=newsletters.qs.com)" and educational standards across states. These policies aim to enhance quality, comparability, and mobility within the education sector, addressing demographic shifts and migration.

In 2022, the UK led Europe with 25K tech graduates, followed by Germany and Turkey. Governments are implementing initiatives like the [UK's Science and Technology Framework](https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/uk-science-and-technology-framework?ref=newsletters.qs.com) and the [European Skills Agenda](https://employment-social-affairs.ec.europa.eu/policies-and-activities/skills-and-qualifications/european-skills-agenda%5Fen?ref=newsletters.qs.com) to enhance digital skills and competitiveness. These efforts align with broader goals such as the [European Digital Strategy](https://eufordigital.eu/discover-eu/eu-digital-strategy/?ref=newsletters.qs.com) and the [European Education Area](https://education.ec.europa.eu/?ref=newsletters.qs.com) to foster a skilled workforce in a digital economy.

Australia's medical graduates per 100,000 inhabitants increased from 9.33 in 1980 to 15.36 in 2021\. Growth accelerated after 2006 due to increased medical school capacity and demand. The government supports this growth through initiatives like the [National Medical Workforce Strategy](https://www.health.gov.au/our-work/national-medical-workforce-strategy-2021-2031?ref=newsletters.qs.com) and the [Stronger Rural Health Strategy](https://www.health.gov.au/topics/rural-health-workforce/stronger-rural-health-strategy?ref=newsletters.qs.com), aiming to enhance workforce distribution and access, particularly in rural areas.
