Brain drain

When a country's most brilliant people, those with talent and genius, leave for
greater job opportunities in other nations, this is known as brain drain. Brain Drain is the
term for the migration and exit of highly qualified individuals. When a country lacks its
share of intelligent individuals, brain drain can be a significant loss of knowledgable
people, who should have made a major contribution to the country's economic and
science achievements. In my opinion, It is a very logical reflexion to leave the country
for a better job opportunity. Looking up for a better future is everything but not a crime.

Moving to a first-world country will provide not only improved job opportunities,
but also a higher quality of living, a better environment, and better living facilities. They
believe that their creativity is being recognised and rewarded appropriately in other
countries. Morocco is unable to provide such support to its people. As a result, they quit.
As Mohamed Alaoui said in his article ‘Heated debate in morocco over brain drain’:
“Motadhad said the real reasons behind the brain drain in Morocco is the desire of those
migrating to improve their personal economic and social conditions and those of their
families, in addition to their search for self-development and for building their career
paths.”

Secondly, the country should do something about this issue, the few things that
they have done are not enough to keep those brilliant people at their home country.
Said Amzazi, Morocco's Minister of National Education, Vocational Training, Higher
Education, and Scientific Research, said FINCOME is one of the policies and programs
the country is implementing to combat brain drain. FINCOME developed institutional
relations with Moroccan professionals in other countries and built a database of
competent personnel as well as public and private Moroccan institutions engaged in
research, production, training, and technology and science information transfer, but I
don’t think that it will be enough.

Moroeover, the country should provide to those people a raise of their salaries for
example, and the companies, whether the private or public ones, should be more
flexible with them, in other words, they should offer a better opportunity than the ones
they will find abroad. According to a study released by the Arab League last year, there
are approximately 50,000 Moroccan students studying abroad and approximately
200,000 Moroccan specialists in different fields who choose to work outside of their
region. As shown in a study conducted by a Recruit website, a leading hiring company,
91 percent of Moroccan graduates aspire to leave the country and pursue job
opportunities abroad since they assume that leaving Morocco would enable them to
advance and expand their careers. so that’s why the country should do something about
that.

Finally, If Morocco has a strong reserve of highest level cadres and fully skilled
specialists by international standards, the lack of justice in terms of job prospects and
the lack of openness in recruiting and promotion could be enough to force  experts and
professionals to emigrate. The Ministry of National Education, Vocational Education,
Higher Ed, and Scientific Research stated that the mass migration of Moroccan talents
is a collective responsibility of many ministerial sectors that needs more national
mobilization to promote the nation's economic structure and ensure the progress of the
country's new development model.

To conclude, Land and its occupation have long been at the heart of nation-state
conflicts throughout history. Now, a new kind of conflict is brewing: a war over science,
the human brain, and its power. And I believe that brain drain is maybe good for
individuals, but it is very bad for the country and his developpment, Therefore,
governments should create more and better job opportunities so that they can stay in
their home country.
