It has been observed in recent few years that many professionals, especially doctors and teachers, are leaving their own regions to get employed in well-developed
countries
like the USA. The term for
this
phenomena is brain drain.
This
situation has been instigated by many reasons
such
as lack of suitable
opportunities
and lack of sufficient funding to carry out their experiments.
This
has caused major issues in terms of proper human resources and the situation is worsening day-by-day. One of the burning issues of poor and developing states is brain drain. These nations have been investing in growing their bright children in different fields.
However
, due to lack of suitable future
opportunities
, they opt to go and work in the developed
countries
such
as the USA, the UK etc, as they provide better salaries and
opportunities
for their services.
For instance
, in India, the doctors graduating from AIIMS, the best medical college. After getting their degree, they fly to other
countries
. Another reason is maybe they are not getting sufficient help and funds from the
Government
authorities for their experiment, and
thus
, universities and governments from other
countries
lure them to their
countries
and utilise them for their own. For the developing
countries
as well as poor
countries
,
this
phenomena has created a major issue. Even after investing huge amounts, the cream of these
countries
is leaving them in the same degraded state as before without contributing. The same services from the scholars, who got their education and training from there, are need to be imported, costing these nations hugely. Teachers, who are the most important architect of building our future, are
also
leaving,
thus
causing the juniors are not getting the best guidance they could get, and
hence
, the juniors couldn't use their full potential. Take ,
for example
, teachers like Dr Amartya Sen and Dr Kharbanda, pioneers of economics, are teaching in foreign
countries
rather than India, their own
country
.
Therefore
, the
countries
are getting depleted of the same quality services.
Thus
to conclude, to end or reduce
this
import, I would suggest the
government
of these nations should help create better
opportunities
. They are rightly investing in building these bright minds and properly guiding them, but they should
also
invest in their opportunity. As they can help create a better future for their own
country
and change the status of the nation from the developing or the poor ones to the developed. The scholars should
also
consider the facilities they were provided by the
government
and the hard-earning taxpayers of their
country
. They should help the
government
and the
country
and not greedily go for better wages.

Word Count

IELTS says that you should write a minimum of 250 words in writing task 2. If you go under word count you will lose marks in task response.

A very long essay will not give you a higher band score.

Aim for between 260 to 290 words in writing task 2. This will ensure a concise essay and will be realistic in terms of time management. You have only 40 minutes to write the essay and you need around 10 minutes of planning time, so you will not be able to write a long essay in 30 minutes.
