Deputy Chairman of Planning Commission Montek Singh Ahluwalia on Higher education

December 4th, 2006

Here is an excerpt from his interview with Sekhar Gupta.
• The problem is higher education right now?

Higher education is a problem. What has happened is we suddenly realised that if the economy is now growing at 8 per cent, and could grow at 9 per cent, the skills the economy needs will become a constraint.

(Hat tip to Kamala for pointing me to this interview.)
