🎓 Indonesia Raised Education Spending by Nearly 0.5% of GDP

Indonesia’s education spending has fluctuated over the past decade as priorities shifted between other sectors. Indonesia's education expenditure increased by nearly 0.5% of GDP between 2022 and 2023. However, recent policy changes have sparked fears of budget cuts in the education sector, potentially raising university fees, affecting scholarships, and harming teacher welfare as well. While nearly $20B is allocated for free school meals, some argue that the funds could better address graduate unemployment by creating job opportunities and boosting long-term economic stability.

⚕️ Doctor Count in the UK Increased by 20% per 10K Residents

The number of medical doctors in the UK increased by nearly 20% per 10K people, yet the NHS continues to face a severe doctor shortage. Rising patient numbers, along with an aging population, chronic illnesses, and mounting work pressure, have made the profession less appealing, and many doctors are retiring. Heavy reliance on international recruitment persists, but long-term solutions require boosting domestic training to meet growing healthcare demands sustainably.

🤖 No. of Clinical Trials Mentioning AI Up by >100x

AI is transforming clinical trials by improving efficiency and reducing costs. Traditionally expensive and time-consuming, clinical trials are essential for evaluating the safety and efficacy of new treatments, and AI is assisting in faster patient recruitment, smarter data management, and accelerating drug discovery. By analyzing vast datasets, AI streamlines every phase of research. As its adoption grows, AI is poised to make drug development faster, more accurate, and significantly more affordable.
