Moving abroad for educational purposes has become more commonplace in recent years for foreign students are hailed and provided with grants by many countries all around the world. This tendency is bound to be beneficial to the students’ country of origin in some respects, but it might also have dire consequences including the risk of ‘‘brain drain’’. Despite the arguments, I opine that this propensity will persist.
When students move to another country, they will have the opportunity to broaden their outlook and learn new technologies which later could be implemented in their own countries. For instance, the educational system itself, in some countries is not well-organized and has some flaws. By studying abroad students not only learn their subjects, but they can also assimilate new and effective methods. Having said that, most students, comparing the life in their home countries and that of the host countries, may be tempted to stay abroad for good. This, in turn, results in the decline of the intelligent citizens, which is called ‘brain drain’ and negatively affects the development of the nation. Take Uzbekistan as an example, a country situated in Central Asia, which for many years have been attempting to recall its intelligent citizens from other countries at the expense of offering them high salaries and luxurious facilities.
