Although the booms of China and India have been fueled by cheap labor and inexpensive low-end manufacturing, the economic future of these countries relies on a better-educated workforce. Both countries lack sufficiently educated personnel to meet demand for employment in the expanding and increasingly sophisticated sectors of manufacturing and service. Universities are central in the race to arm these countries' respective workforces with skills to make them competitive in the global knowledge system. However neither China nor India is well-equipped to face their common challenges in improving the quality of postsecondary education and increasing access to these institutions. The two countries are taking widely different approaches to their education dilemmas, with China working hands-on to build world-class institutions, while India appears to turn a blind eye to the urgency of increasing education funding. For both countries, the last 50 years have not been kind to traditional ideas about learning.
