Russia Backs Sending Top Students Abroad With a Catch
First time accepted submitter Clark Schultz writes "Vladimir Putin plans to send the country's top domestic students abroad in an effort to prepare engineers, doctors, and scientists with the most modern education. The initiative comes with a catch: Students must return to Mother Russia to work. Though critics say that the students may be tempted to stay abroad after receiving their advanced degrees, Putin is confident they will be properly motivated to keep up their end of the bargain. As one advocate notes, the 'brilliant' practice of educating Russians at top global universities dates back to the times of Peter the Great."
China - I can understand. But for Russians ? I worked with several Russians, all of them very-good-to-brilliant programmers and scientists. They had no trouble in getting recognition for their work and skills. Could you expound a bit on your remark ?
Religous speak to God. Insane are spoken to by God. When all shut up, one can finally hear Shostakovich in peace
