Migration of Science, Technology and Engineering Development by Globalization of Higher Education Opportunities: Contemporary Evaluation of Africa Experience
Journal Title: International Journal of Engineering and Science Invention - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 8
Abstract
Science, Technology and Engineering are global contemporary basis for societal economic development and sustainability. This implies that when science provides solutions to human needs, financial income and prosperity is inevitably attracted. Armed with this fact, Western research institutions and universities supported by their Governments, position themselves for advance research activities in science, technology and engineering related areas. In addition to active collaborations with the industry, the research findings from these institutions are converted into finished products and consumables under well-defined production or manufacturing processes. In order to sustain and expand this economic prosperity and opportunity, there is the need for regular high caliber manpower recruitment of specialized professionals who have received part or all of the education and training required. The resultant effect of this need is that the West turns to Africa and in response, some of Africa‘s best hands in the sciences, technology and engineering arena are attracted by incentives that their home countries cannot afford or sustain. In this paper, this bane of Africa‘s development is further dissected to show that African nations‘ science, technology and engineering resources have maintained a steady migration with African trained personnel as they relocate to the West, dating back to the era of the colonialists. This resource migration is partly the reason for Africa‘s under development.
