 Skill deficit

  • Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade, recently accepted claims by Indian companies that “a significant skill gap” exists between Chinese and Indian factory supervisors and workers

  • Indian businesses have purchased machines from China but cannot use them productively without the help of Chinese technicians.

  • Rarely is there such clarity that even “low-tech”, labour-intensive production requires a deep well of expertise

Role of china

  • China’s experts are less expensive than those from elsewhere. 

  • Yet, while the government has few, restrictions on international experts, it holds the Chinese back, citing national security concerns. This is a problem. 

  • The Chinese can help India secure a foothold on the lowest rungs of the global skills’ ladder

Education

  • Since the government is already slow walking its promise of more visas to the Chinese, this moment must trigger action on woeful Indian education. 

  • Without foreign technical assistance and vastly upgraded domestic education (as also in China), job-rich prosperity will remain a dream

Hindering

  • Chinese nationals visas, fell sharply after deadly clashes between Indian and Chinese troops in 2020

  •  A security-driven mindset has taken root. 

  • This year, even the meagre 1,000 visas for Chinese electronics professionals are stuck in a “pipeline”, undergoing “intensive screening”

Foreign knowledge

  • East Asian economic history teaches us that foreign knowledge is pivotal but spurs development only when combined with adequately educated domestic workers.

  • Weak Indian education makes foreign expertise especially urgent

Chinese growth 

  • China began its explosive growth in the early 1980s with a weaker education base than Korea’s. 

  • However, the breadth and the quality of Chinese primary education had primed it for rapid development

  • Chinese school students have bettered the world’s best in the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) 

    • conducted by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)

  • China is at the frontiers of global technology

  • Western leaders, who are building trade barriers against Chinese imports with howls of unfair competition. 

  • Such protectionism, even if dignified as “industrial policy”, will not fix the fundamental shortcomings in their education systems

Indian reality

  • India’s spurt in technology-related service exports during the COVID-19 years has come to a grinding halt. 

  • Even graduates from the IITs are struggling to find jobs

  • A country that cannot educate its children and provide its vast millions with dignified jobs  is on course to be a global economic superpower.

  • Foreign investors are shying away from India

  • India’s labour-intensive manufactured exports (goods exports minus petrochemicals and chemicals) are stuck at a 1.3% share of global markets

Way forward 

  • If national security and self-reliance mantras block even the baby step of visas for relevant foreign experts, India will miss another opportunity for a new beginning. 

  • With dysfunction in school and university education and an overvalued rupee, any prospect of labour-intensive manufactured exports will die again. 

  • India must address its severely deficient human capital rather than harbouring fanciful notions of its place in the world
