Emerging Markets’ Higher-Education Challenge
As many high-income economies continue to flounder, many regard Brazil, China, India, Russia, and smaller emerging-market countries as the best hope for short-term global recovery. But, unless constraints to longer-term growth, including weak tertiary education, are addressed soon, the emerging markets’ rise to prosperity and global influence will be short-lived.

But, unless constraints to longer-term growth are addressed soon, the emerging markets’ rise to prosperity and global influence will be short-lived.
