In India, the government places considerable emphasis on primary education, with schemes such as the Mid-Day Meal Program and Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan designed to improve access and quality at the foundational stage. However, there is relatively less focus on higher education. As students enter higher education institutions, they are nearing adulthood, and the focus shifts from basic education to research-driven and professional learning. There is an increasing demand for vocational and job-oriented education, with students expecting placement support from colleges. Many states have started to offer college-level placement services, reflecting the need for higher education to prioritize employability.

In Chile, education is a priority, but there are significant challenges in both primary and higher education. For primary education, the country has made notable efforts to ensure universal coverage and improve quality, although inequalities persist, especially in rural and vulnerable areas. The government has implemented policies to strengthen school infrastructure, train teachers, and enhance curricula. In higher education, Chile offers a wide range of universities and professional institutes, but faces challenges related to equitable access and quality. Despite the availability of scholarships and student loans, the high cost of higher education remains a barrier for many families. Additionally, the demand for quality education that aligns with labor market needs continues to be a central topic of debate and reform in the country.

Mexico, has expanded its educational system and currently we have universal coverage in primary education. During thas last three decades our population has grown substantially and there has been a constant need to increase our capacity to increase our infrastructure to attend this age cohort. Since 2020 the population demographics has shifted and today we have a decreasing trend. Nevertheless, we do not have this coverage for the higher education level. From 100 students who begin their primary education only 26 reach higher education. There is a very large number of our population excluded from this level, as well there are persistent inequalities for social groups, such as lower income families, or lower income regional differences. Public policy has promoted the growth of our universities to incorporate greater number of students for the past two decades, but we face important challenges, particularly regardin public financing and resources available for the public system.

In Papua New Guinea, we face similar challenges like any other developing nation. Our population has increased so much in the last two decades and yet the university classroom spaces are minimal. we are also challenged by disparities such as rural and urban, techno saavy skills and digital technology use illiteracy and the haves and have nots with regard to pulbic financing for higher education. The number of universities we have can not cater for the growing population of university elligible cohorts.

We are now challenged to take higher education to the clouds and computer programmers are pressured to find the right learning management system for smooth delivery of higher education to the rural and urban fringes to counter squalar, illiteracy and most importantly digital skills illiteracy.

The US places high value on a citizenry that is well informed and can decipher facts from misinformation and disinformation.
