🏫 California Had the Highest Number of Public School Enrolments
California and Texas led US public school enrolment in 2022, with 5.9K and 5.5K students respectively, far ahead of other states. Florida and New York followed, each with more than 2.5K enrolled. This concentration reflects both population size and migration trends, with southern states seeing rising enrollments. The US Department of Education continues to guide resource allocation through Title I programs supporting equitable access in high-need school districts.
⚕️ Healthcare Expenditure In the Netherlands Peaked In 2020-2021
Healthcare spending in the Netherlands accounted for 10% of GDP in 2024, steady after a dip from the pandemic-era peak of 11.2% in 2020. The long-term trend shows relative stability, with brief surges during COVID-19. This reflects how demographic pressures and rising costs are being managed within broader fiscal limits. The Dutch government’s Healthcare Agreement continues to drive efficiency by shifting focus toward preventive and community based care.
🏭 Most Mobile Phone Users Want Longer Battery Life
Longer battery life dominates user demand in 2025, with 72% ranking it higher than price cuts or bigger screens. This highlights a pivot toward functional resilience over cosmetic or cost-driven upgrades. Global manufacturers are already shifting, like Apple’s latest devices, which emphasize endurance and recyclability. Regulation is also pushing the industry forward, with the EU’s Right to Repair directive setting a new standard for sustainable consumer electronics design.
