The World Bank, 2011 - East Asia is a model region that has grown rapidly, but its low- and middle-income countries face the challenges of maintaining growth and climbing the income ladder, both requiring improvements in productivity. Higher education is critical in this effort because it provides the high-level skills and research to apply current technologies and to assimilate, adapt, and develop new technologies, two drivers of productivity.1 It can thus be a key driver of growth.
