Nearly 70% of public schools in the US offer some AI training, but it's not enough to match students’ growing proficiency. [Around 70% of teachers in the US and UK report little to no formal AI training](https://www.forbes.com/sites/danfitzpatrick/2025/03/15/76-of-teachers-feel-unprepared-for-ai-why-training-is-urgent/?ref=newsletters.qs.com). In response, governments are launching teacher upskilling initiatives. The [US recently signed an executive order](https://www.edweek.org/technology/trump-wants-teachers-trained-how-to-use-ai-will-it-work/2025/04?ref=newsletters.qs.com) prioritizing AI integration in K–12 education, with a strong focus on training educators. ## ⚕️ The US-Led NATO in Healthcare Spending as a Share of GDP ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/f1/d4/f1d411df-6f49-4c75-a302-f8c9e9f59495/content/images/2025/07/HolonIQ_Top_5_NATO_countries_with_the_highest_healthcare_spending_as_a_share_of_GDP_2024_HCH9BVH6QO7E4JLHK3ST.png) The US spends the most on healthcare among NATO countries, [allocating over 16% of its GDP](https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/6/25/nato-countries-budgets-compared-defence-vs-healthcare-and-education?ref=newsletters.qs.com). However, higher spending doesn't guarantee better outcomes. [According to the 2024 Commonwealth Health Report](https://www.commonwealthfund.org/publications/fund-reports/2024/sep/mirror-mirror-2024?ref=newsletters.qs.com), the US ranks last in overall healthcare performance, which considers access, quality, and other factors. While US is known for advanced medical cutting-edge technologies and highly skilled doctors, its system remains costly and less accessible. In contrast, countries with universal healthcare, like Australia and the Netherlands, rank higher. ## 🏭 Poland Led in Defense Spending, Allocating >4% of Its GDP ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/f1/d4/f1d411df-6f49-4c75-a302-f8c9e9f59495/content/images/2025/07/HolonIQ_NATO_s_top_10_defense_spenders_as_a_share_of_GDP_2024_HCHA98AGUZP6TZ5Y35MU--2-.png) Global defense and advanced manufacturing are closely linked, [as technologies like drones, missiles, aerospace, and space defense demand incredibly precise and cutting-edge technologies.](https://camoinassociates.com/resources/aerospace-and-defense-industry-opportunities-challenges/?ref=newsletters.qs.com) With rising geopolitical tensions, many nations are under pressure to boost their defense budgets, and [Poland is now the leading NATO country in defense spending](https://www.wilsoncenter.org/article/security-europe-polands-rise-natos-defense-spending-leader?ref=newsletters.qs.com) as a share of GDP. While this can drive R&D and industrial growth, it raises ethical concerns. Increasing military expenditure may divert resources from essential sectors, potentially harming broader advanced manufacturing. Sustainable development requires a balanced approach that prioritizes both security and socio-economic progress. --- **Like getting this newsletter?* Request a demo for unlimited access to over one million charts* [Request a Demo](https://share-eu1.hsforms.com/2C1%5FV5ni4SEyLILjrqcyQnQfigrs?%5F%5Fhstc=246933147.4a0f9c817dbdb1552dab36c635584622.1688407869224.1749831404162.1749845959660.481&%5F%5Fhssc=246933147.4.1749845959660&%5F%5Fhsfp=4268195782&ref=newsletters.qs.com) --- **Thank you for reading.
