Higher education may mean different things to different people. However, the central point about HE is that unlike other forms of capital, it transcends mere economic returns. HE returns are the very substance of development and progress, and are difficult to quantify and compare with economic returns (Patel). A society that is educated and informed is better able to make fundamental decisions for itself. Education prepares people to make such decisions more objectively and provides the environment for social and cultural innovation.
