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](https://www.ft.com/content/288c3985-8986-4932-a2fe-a0cdd6d1e51b?ref=newsletters.qs.com) 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](https://www.universityworldnews.com/post.php?story=20250226152926251&ref=newsletters.qs.com), some argue that the funds could better address graduate unemployment by creating job opportunities and boosting long-term economic stability.

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](https://www.euronews.com/health/2024/09/12/doctor-shortages-low-pay-and-overtime-europes-hospitals-are-under-the-weather?ref=newsletters.qs.com), have made the profession less appealing, and many doctors are retiring. [Heavy reliance on international recruitment persists](https://www.bma.org.uk/advice-and-support/nhs-delivery-and-workforce/workforce/medical-staffing-in-the-nhs?ref=newsletters.qs.com), but long-term solutions require boosting domestic training to meet growing healthcare demands sustainably.

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](https://www.techtarget.com/pharmalifesciences/feature/How-AI-is-revolutionizing-clinical-trials-drug-development?ref=newsletters.qs.com), smarter data management, and accelerating drug discovery. [By analyzing vast datasets, AI streamlines every phase of research](https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10720846/?ref=newsletters.qs.com). As its adoption grows, AI is poised to make drug development faster, more accurate, and significantly more affordable.
