I agree that this is a problem, but the flip side is that high income countries have been causing a "brain drain" from lower income/DAC countries for many decades. We should be insuring that those countries benefit from sending students overseas to study by helping to grow and diversify their economies, helping graduates connect and find jobs including having placements and conducting research in their own country as part of the degree programme, creating academic exchanges of staff and students.
This wrongly implies that the employment market and employers' treatment of temporary visa holders reflects only the quality of education.
