8. Brain Drain Brain drain is a delicate problem with which this country is confronted. In the last ten years or so, a lot of scientists and technicians have swarmed into developed countries for further studies or research work, let alone numerous promising students. And there are no indications that they will be back home before long. This country has paid the expenses of training them but lost them. How did that come about? It is self-evident that their delay of coming back is due to those favorable working and living conditions which are essential to research work. Sophisticated equipment makes it easier for one to gain academic achievements. Our competent scientists abroad are offered higher rewards and greater opportunities which contribute to their success in career. It seems that it isnt impossible to solve the problem. The scientists and the like can be attracted back home so long as great importance is attached to the intellectuals deserving treatment and effective measures are taken to provide them with excellent pay and agreeable conditions. |
