Beijing urged to improve higher learning

China will become the world's largest source of highly educated workers by 2030, and experts say Beijing should improve the quality of higher education to fulfill the needs of the international labor market.

By 2030, China will account for 30 percent of the world's highly educated workers, according to a study by the McKinsey Global Institute.

The United States, by comparison, will only account for 5 percent of highly educated workers.
