I would be grateful if my questions could be answered.
The report recommends that more resources be devoted to teaching four-year-olds.

By considering the above sentence, which came from Cambridge dictionary, please answer the questions?

Why is used "be devoted to"in the below sentence?
What form of grammar is this?
If it's a passive voice so why "are devoted" or "should be devoted" didn't use?
when could we use "be + pp" (exactly be not am/are/is)?

Thankyou
