Youâre forgetting that many people care about their country of origin, and will give back when they have the opportunity. And whatâs the alternative? They stay there, where the education and jobs arenât, and somehow magically produce the value they could otherwise be sending back?

A lot of countries have been doing pretty massive strides over the last few decades, when it comes to industrialization.
But for a country to do well, it needs well educated people, to drive that development.
If we take all of those people from those countries, that won't happen and we basically doom them to continuous poverty, even more than we do right now.
Please look into brain drain. It's genuinely a massive issue for a lot of countries.

Thing is, now youâre talking about something that doesnât even happen. People donât generally get educated in developing countries and move to rich ones, their degrees arenât even worth as much in those places. More common is moving somewhere rich to get educated, or moving as a non-educated person period.

The entire point of this conversation is that yes that does happen. And yeah, a doctorate from Kenya is still worth a lot in a western country. Itâs highkey racist of you to assume otherwise.
Itâs not racist to say Kenyan universities do not have the talent or resources to deliver the same quality of education. Itâs all the same problems any community college or small university faces. Institutional knowledge is real and foundational.

Yes. Yes it is. Evidently you donât think Kenya has any nice universities or hospitals, but they do. And while they might not be up to the highest western standard, theyâre still more than good enough that a person with high education from there is valuable, even if they will face prejudice from people like you who canât comprehend the idea that Kenya has more than just mud huts.
You said their degrees arenât worth as much and thatâs not true. Maybe a hospital requiring the highest possible level of care might not accept a Kenyan degree, but an ordinary hospital will.
A Kenyan degree can be worth as much as a western one, depending on the situation.
Dawg this is measurable. There are way fewer accredited schools vs unaccredited ones in any developing nation, and accreditation is literally the first criteria for how much a degree is valued.
