Fact Check: "The number of vocational-technical students graduating with associate degrees in New Jersey increased by 86 students compared to the previous year."

What We Know

The claim states that the number of vocational-technical students graduating with associate degrees in New Jersey has increased by 86 students compared to the previous year. According to a recent report from the New Jersey Department of Education, there has indeed been a notable increase in the number of vocational-technical students graduating. Specifically, the report indicates that New Jersey county vocational-technical schools have set a new record with 337 students from the Class of 2025 earning an associate degree, which reflects an increase from the previous year's figures (source).

However, the report does not specify the exact number of graduates from the previous year, making it difficult to confirm the precise increase of 86 students claimed.

Analysis

The evidence provided by the New Jersey Department of Education is credible, as it comes from an official state report that tracks educational outcomes. The report highlights a significant achievement in vocational-technical education, noting the record number of graduates. However, without the previous year's data explicitly stated in the report, we cannot independently verify the claim of an increase by exactly 86 students.

Moreover, while the source of the claim appears reliable, the lack of detailed comparative data raises questions about the accuracy of the specific figure cited. The increase in graduates is a positive trend, but the exact number of students from the previous year is essential for validating the claim.

Additionally, other sources such as the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) provide broader data on educational trends but do not offer specific year-over-year comparisons for New Jersey vocational-technical graduates (source). This lack of accessible historical data further complicates the verification process.

Conclusion

Needs Research. While there is evidence of an increase in vocational-technical graduates in New Jersey, the specific claim of an increase by 86 students cannot be confirmed without additional data from the previous year. Further research is needed to obtain the exact figures for the prior year to validate the claim accurately.

Fact Check: MASSIVE bolt of plasma burst out of the sky striking I-40 near Alma, Arkansas last night! They're getting larger and more frequent as the Earth continues charging up. The further the magnetic North Pole continues racing toward Siberia the weaker Earth's protective magnetic shield becomes. More cosmic radiation from space and more UV, UVB, and UVC radiation from the Sun are penetrating deeper into our atmosphere and into the Earth. Earth's atmosphere is becoming highly charged and electrified causing massive plasma bursts like this to strike, causing more lightning strikes period. Lightning has even been documented striking on days without a storm cloud in sight. All the signatures of the binary twin solar system and the Destroyer's arrival just amplified dramatically this year. The alarmingly endless rainfall and flooding across the world is something I have never witnessed before in my ten years of reporting Earth's climate disasters. Folks who know weather for 60 - 70 years have never witnessed the sudden incredible down bursts of several inches of rain in just minutes that have been triggering nonstop catastrophic flash flooding across America and the rest of the world. It's just been nonstop this year. I've never seen so many very strong and powerful earthquakes strike since March when the 7.0+, 6.0+, 5.0+ magnitude earthquakes accelerated in frequency so fast. With aftershocks in numbers we've never seen before, in the hundreds. I've never seen so many fires breaking out across the world that just keep coming. Canada, the United States, the entire Mediterranean region, Europe, etc. The core of the Earth is expanding from the increase in radiation causing the rock to melt underneath our feet. Magma plumes are growing, lava tubes and corridors are expanding globally and reaching the Earth's surface, on land and under water. We've got a rash of volcanic activity on land and on the ocean floor heating up the water, melting the poles, causing marine life die offs, and fueling the atmosphere with high humidity and water vapor for more frequent and intense storming. All the symptoms of the arrival of the binary twin solar system that was expected are being checked off. This will just continue to worsen in the coming days. Mid-August is almost here and watching for the extreme weather to intensify. We're heading into severe birth pangs now. Listening for updates and watching it unfold live. Remarkable days.
