China now has the largest postsecondary education system with 21 million students and an age participation rate (APR) of 19 percent. India trails behind with an APR of 10 percent and some 10 million students. Creating an innovative society requires postsecondary education to be more widely available and developed countries to have APRs of 40 percent or more. The postsecondary systems of China and India must continue to grow. India’s combination of demography (60 percent of the population under 25) and democracy will propel its postsecondary enrollments past those of both the United States and China.

As China and India come to dominate postsecondary education in the 21st century, their patterns of provision will effectively define its global profile, which will differ from the current profile for both economic and technological reasons. First, private, for-profit education will play a larger role because the public sector will not be able to afford the necessary investments. Second, distance learning, conducted at scale, already accounts for a larger proportion of enrollments in China and India than in America. Third, distance learning lends itself readily to conducting higher education across borders. Distance learning, by its nature, is more likely to foster the spirit of innovation than face-to-face instruction.

The for-profit sector in America, for example the Whitney International University System, is attempting to take distance learning to scale at low cost by making investments aimed at achieving the quantum shifts in price and volume that are necessary to serve those at the bottom of the economic pyramid around the world.

This paper notes how connectivity and open educational resources could be combined in conducting postsecondary education at scale with lower costs and consistent quality. It also discusses steps being taken internationally to regulate and assure the quality of large postsecondary systems in the interest of protecting students.
