what we study never favour our own country

i have gone round and asked many question in a survey i undertook.
i realized more people in my country knows how to work very well and are experienced but they are not certificate holders, job goes to those with certificate but knows very little.
we learn things which help other countries but omits our basic need for our own industry hence called a third world country
this is different for highly skilled workers such as doctors, lab tech, other
this true for skill craft and field works
is it the same in your community???

I think to a certain degree the “braindrain” phenomenon is applicable to many developing countries. The reason is economics, better opportunity in terms - of facilities, work environment, technology access, freedom and ability to pursue ideas and concepts etc. However, the underlying cause of poverty that creates two distinct worlds – developed countries and less developed countries, in my view are:
1. Governments
2. Social and cultural environment
There are a number of reasons that are commonly cited as the root cause for third world poverty – corruption, inefficiency, lack of technology, unstable governments, caste system, ethnic violence and tribal warfare, lack of quality education, lack of infrastructure, lack of new industries, lack of government revenues to implement public projects and social welfare systems, gender biases and inequality, religious intolerance and violence, lack of natural resources etc. The list can continue on and on. All these, I believe, could be placed under the above two categories.
Regarding the educational sector and the business sector, I believe this is a function of the government also. I am FOR government involvement – albeit a fair government that respects human rights, equality, secularism, social justice, peace, security i.e. much of the modern values that the developed countries enjoy. It is their responsibility to create the appropriate bureaus and agencies to address the needs of the nation and society, to either directly create educational institutions or provide the framework and policy structure that supports and promotes private and public initiatives - for example:
* land donations for schools and colleges and other educational institutes
* tax reductions for select industries * favourable loan programs etc.
Cont`d below due to text limitation....

Today we live in a global world. One of the biggest changes has been the increased mobility of the workforce within and beyond national borders. While it is true that big corporations usually take the best candidates and most qualified professionals, it is equally true that these corporations also bring new business practices and concepts, new management styles, work culture, new technology etc. How much of a change agent a foreign firm operating overseas becomes, is directly the result of the investment policies and regulations of the host nation and internal corporate policies – for example:
* management training programs available to local hires
* access to manufacturing technology and processes
* corporate social responsibility programs etc.
One of the biggest international issues is Development Aid – monetary, technology transfer, capacity building initiatives etc.- provided by developed countries to developing and less developed countries. In the past decade aid for developing countries have shrunk. Despite large promises and commitment made by developed nations, actual contributions has been significantly less than what was promised.
Ultimately, I believe the third world countries have to address how they can create cohesive political, social and economical systems that are stable and that successfully addresses new international concerns such as climate change, sustainable development, clean energy, consumption, trade etc.

Yes, I think the same to you. But it also teaches me an important thing that in any circumstances of life, we have to try to get on well with them.
