About education

For most of us, we go by day and night for the last 15 years not realizing how fortunate we are to be living in a society of open thought and expression. Not until these liberties are taken again away from us, like in the past, do some of us realize what we are missing.
By what reason we can not criticize ones ambitions?
We were told that the developing countries, should cease the “exports of great minds and invest them in their own country”.
I can understand the point that is being made. Developing and Low-Income nations need all of the help that they can get.
However, the critics of the “Brain Drain” feel that brilliant minds should be left where they are... yet I find it hard to believe that the peanut gallery can speak on behalf of these select scholars. No country offers every amenity in life.
I’d like to think that all countries encourage their people to get educated and experience what world offers. Those intellects who have things to share should not be closed away by domestic greed.
It is no surprise that countries with poor education systems, and governments that condemn free thought, should have few, but bright, stars under their roof.
Those individuals who have dreams of success are determined to fight ignorance, and find it in themselves to get educated.
In a nation of poverty and chaos it is hard for these people to win.
The wonderful minds that derive from such perseverance find that developed nations hold the technology and the support for their studies.
Undeveloped countries don’t have as great a number of colleges, medical schools, hospitals and technical investments, that developed countries have.
The “Brain Drain”, in my opinion, is the only way out for those people who want more in life than farming and weaving baskets.
The intellects of these nations cannot be wasted.
If one’s country cannot provide what they need, then they are best off leaving.
No one has ever found new horizons without first losing sight of the shore.
