Average number of pupils per qualified teacher at primary level education in a given academic year. Pupil-teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the number of students at the specified level of education by the number of teachers at the same level of education. Data on education are collected by the UNESCO Institute for Statistics from official responses to its annual education survey.
Percentage of women who are literate. This indicator highlights the importance of electricity for women, who spend the majority of their time taking care of the households. Electricity can ease girls and young women from houdeholds duties and allow them to attend schools. Thus, the lower the number of households with access to electricity the greater the potential for decentralised renewable energies to improve literacy levels among women.
Percentage of children in a school attendance age (approximately 3-17 years old depending on the country) that have internet connection at home. Also in this case the indicator relates to the potential educational impact of electrification on children and young people.
Percentage of children aged 6-8 that currently attends, or in the current school year attended, school. This indicator measures the potential educational impact of bringing electricity to schools; therefore, the impact of binging electricity will be higher where the educational attendance is low.

Bambara Groundnut and Carob Pod in Functional Concentrates and Beverages project utilises Bambara groundnut malt extract [BGNME] and Carob pod molasses [CPM] in functional concentrates and beverages without added sugar for human nutrition.
Defence Cluster's Passive Radar for Air Traffic Control is a class of radar that makes use of third-party illuminators. For example, public broadcasting services such as frequency modulation radio, to illuminate an aircraft(s) of interest and subsequently locate and track these aircrafts by processing the signals reflected from the aircraft.
Given the absence of a dedicated transmitter subsystem in passive radar systems, it serves as a cost-effective radar solution that requires no spectrum licensing, consumes significantly less power, requires minimal equipment and has reduced maintenance.
