💨 Abstract

The study finds that India's early emphasis on humanities due to colonial-era priorities has slowed its economic progress, while China's broader diversification of vocational and professional disciplines, particularly engineering, education, and medicine, has driven its growth since the 1980s. China's educational development has been more closely aligned with economic growth, while India initially placed a greater emphasis on secondary-level education, eventually shifting to primary education post-1990.
