In 2022, secondary education enrollment rates across the Asia-Pacific region revealed disparities driven by gender and national contexts. Australia achieved over-enrollment with rates of 133% for girls and 137% for boys, while Pakistan reported only 38% and 45%, respectively. Regional efforts, like the [Asia-Pacific Education Framework](https://www.adb.org/what-we-do/topics/education/overview?ref=newsletters.qs.com#equity) and SDG Goal 4, focus on addressing such gaps, emphasizing equitable education access for marginalized and underrepresented groups.

Africa's renewable energy share in total primary energy supply peaked at 51% in 2017 but fell to 35.8% by 2019, indicating increased fossil fuel reliance. Initiatives like the [African Union's Agenda 2063](https://au.int/en/agenda2063/overview?ref=newsletters.qs.com), the [Nairobi Declaration](https://www.afdb.org/sites/default/files/2023/09/08/the%5Fafrican%5Fleaders%5Fnairobi%5Fdeclaration%5Fon%5Fclimate%5Fchange-rev-eng.pdf?ref=newsletters.qs.com), and the [Desert to Power Initiative](https://www.afdb.org/en/topics-and-sectors/initiatives-partnerships/desert-power-initiative?ref=newsletters.qs.com) aim to enhance renewable capacity and energy access. Collaborative efforts, such as the [Sustainable Energy for All (SE4ALL) framework](https://sustainabledevelopment.un.org/commitments%5Fse4all.html?ref=newsletters.qs.com#:~:text=It%20contains%2011%20Action%20Areas,towards%20Sustainable%20Energy%20for%20All.), emphasize equitable energy transitions to harness Africa's vast renewable resources for sustainable development.

## 🧑‍⚕️ Nursing Home Occupancy has Declined Over the Last Decade

The occupancy rate of certified nursing facilities in the US declined from 86% in 2003 to 75% in 2023, with a sharp drop to 67% during the COVID-19 pandemic. In response, initiatives like the [CMS's national minimum nurse staffing standard and the Health Workforce Initiative](https://www.cms.gov/newsroom/fact-sheets/medicare-and-medicaid-programs-minimum-staffing-standards-long-term-care-facilities-and-medicaid-0?ref=newsletters.qs.com#:~:text=CMS%20is%20finalizing%20a%20total%20nurse%20staffing%20standard%2C%20based%20on,care%20provided%20by%20nurse%20aides.) aim to improve care quality and address workforce shortages. Legislative efforts, including the [Five-Star Quality Rating System](https://www.cms.gov/medicare/health-safety-standards/certification-compliance/five-star-quality-rating-system?ref=newsletters.qs.com), enhance transparency and accountability in nursing home operations.
