Let me put the facts Jameel.None of our universities appear in top 400 universities of the world.Standard of education in our professional institutions is pathetic,how students unions have polluted the campuses is known to everyone.There is hardly any research work going on in our engineering or medical colleges.Our professionals are not exposed to latest technological advancements happenibg in the world.Mechatronics, an essential branch of engineering has been introduced to few of our engineering universities almost 2 years ago, whereas it is being taught in the world sice early 80's.West in not redy to recognise our degrees, considering them below par.Yes our professionals do find some place in the Gulf, that too in mediocre companies.Big multinational companies in Gulf too, prefer Western expats for high profile jobs.Talking about medical profession, no body knows our doctors unless the acquire fellowship from royal college of physicians, which offcourse everybody cannot afford.None of our state owned hospitals has got international accreditation (JCAHO).(Not to be taken as criticism, just putting the facts). |
