Student Wellbeing. - URL: https://newsletters.qs.com/268k-robots-127-brazil-solar-energy-student-wellbeing/ - Published: 2024-03-27T11:15:10.000Z - Updated: 2024-03-27T11:15:09.000Z - Description: Chart of the Day #58 looks at Student Wellbeing, Solar Energy and Robotics. - Author: QS - Tags: Charts [**Kia ora**](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kia%5Fora?ref=newsletters.qs.com) **🥝** A heat wave that passed through Brazil earlier this month pushed energy consumption in the country to [record highs of 102 GW](https://www.pv-magazine.com/2024/03/25/heat-wave-affects-solar-power-generation-in-brazil/?ref=newsletters.qs.com). It is believed that the rise in temperature also led to an efficiency loss in solar energy of about 15% due to higher-than-optimal operating temperatures of PV modules. MIT engineers have developed [household robots with enhanced common sense](https://news.mit.edu/2024/engineering-household-robots-have-little-common-sense-0325?ref=newsletters.qs.com), enabling them to self-correct errors and seamlessly proceed with their assigned tasks. ### Today's Topics - 🎓 **Student Wellbeing.** Parent initiatives in student wellbeing - 🌞 **Solar Energy.** 127% rise in solar energy deployment in Brazil - 🦾 **Robotics.** 268K robotic installations in China *For unlimited access to over one million charts,* [*request a demo*](https://webforms.pipedrive.com/f/1uMbIPRqUeVuZ31jVtKWMWIuqU2ga1nKo8aotNdGihU16zgOzuTfRMb9XfIIGmcOT?ref=newsletters.qs.com)*.* ## 🎓 Parent Initiatives in Student Wellbeing ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/f1/d4/f1d411df-6f49-4c75-a302-f8c9e9f59495/content/images/2024/03/HolonIQ_Survey_of_Global_Staff_from_International_Schools_Most_beneficial_initiatives_for_a_whole_school_approach_to_wellbeing_2021_HCHL2XYIH79YVZKUBSJC--1-.png) 53% of the global staff from international schools record that [parent training or guidance](https://www.edcan.ca/articles/promote-student-well-being/?ref=newsletters.qs.com#:~:text=While%20middle%2D%20and%20high%2Dschool,acknowledge%20and%20validate%20their%20child's) plays a key role in the whole-school approach to wellbeing. Early childhood development isn't limited to formal education, the home environment also plays a pivotal role. Research has shown that many children suffering from mental health issues such as depression lack a [home environment](https://www.atlantis-press.com/proceedings/acpch-17/25890709?ref=newsletters.qs.com) that is conducive to positive mental health, with parents' attitudes being a key factor in determining their mental health. Additionally, emphasis has been placed on organizing events to support the well-being of students and integrating well-being within the curriculum. Adoption of mental health education is increasing across the world, with the [Alaska Senate](https://alaskabeacon.com/briefs/alaska-senate-oks-mental-health-education-in-schools-bill/?ref=newsletters.qs.com) recently passing a bill to make mental health a core part of the curriculum. ## 🌞 127% Rise in Solar Energy Deployment in Brazil ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/f1/d4/f1d411df-6f49-4c75-a302-f8c9e9f59495/content/images/2024/03/HolonIQ_Installed_solar_PV_capacity_by_Brazil_2012_2022_Gigawatts_HCH9Q19T6GY0LC5KMA1N--1-.png) Brazil's strategic location, with abundant sunlight and a robust industrial sector, has attracted substantial investments in solar energy. With one of the world's [highest insolation levels](https://ratedpower.com/blog/largest-pv-plants-in-Brazil/?ref=newsletters.qs.com#:~:text=Additionally%2C%20Brazil%20has%20some%20of,do%20Sul%20leading%20the%20way.) receiving around 2,200 hours of sunlight annually, Brazil has seen a 127% increase in solar energy deployment over the decade. As Latin America's largest electricity market and the sixth-largest consumer globally, Brazil's [transition to solar power](https://www.globalsolarcouncil.org/brazil-accelerates-in-solar-pv-energy-and-becomes-the-eighth-largest-country-in-the-world-ranking-of-the-source-informs-absolar/?ref=newsletters.qs.com) not only meets increasing energy demands but also aligns with sustainability goals, positioning Brazil as a leader in renewable energy adoption within Latin America. This has also helped to drive economic growth through clean technology investments. ## 🦾 268K Robotic Installations in China ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/f1/d4/f1d411df-6f49-4c75-a302-f8c9e9f59495/content/images/2024/03/HolonIQ_Annual_industrial_robots_installed_by_country_2021_Thousands_of_Robots_HCHXW0II8DJKQQ39BV3X.png) China emerged as the global leader in industrial robotics, with an annual installation of 268,200 units in 2021\. This increase is attributed to factors such as [escalating labor costs](https://www.citigroup.com/global/insights/global-insights/china-rise-of-industrial-robots?ref=newsletters.qs.com), technological advancements, and [generous subsidies](https://www.scmp.com/news/china/science/article/3255370/china-has-12-1/2-times-more-robots-its-workforce-industry-experts-predicted-report?ref=newsletters.qs.com) from the government. The increase in demand for industrial automation has led to the emergence of several robotics start-ups, concentrated in the Dongguan region, situated in China's Guangdong province. This region is renowned for its thriving robotics industry. --- **Like getting this newsletter?* For unlimited access to over one million charts,* [*request a demo*](https://webforms.pipedrive.com/f/1uMbIPRqUeVuZ31jVtKWMWIuqU2ga1nKo8aotNdGihU16zgOzuTfRMb9XfIIGmcOT?ref=newsletters.qs.com)*.* --- **Thank you for reading.
