Passage Two
Questions 62 to 66 are based onthe following passage.
In the second half of the twentieth century,many countries of the South(发展中国家)began tosend students to the industrialized countries for further education. Theyurgently needed supplies of highly trained personnel to implement a concept ofdevelopment based on modernization.
But many of these studentsdecided to stay on in the developed countries when they had finished their training.At the same time, many professionals who did return home but no longer felt atease there also decided to go back to the countries where they had studied.
In the 1960s, some LatinAmerican countries tried to solve this problem by setting up special"return"programs to encourage their professionals to come back home.These programs received support from international bodies such as theInternational Organization for Migration, which in 1974 enabled over 1,600qualified scientists
and technicians to return toLatin America.
In the 1980s and 1990s,"temporary return" programs were set up in order to make the best useof trained personnel occupying strategic positions in the developed countries.This gave rise to the United Nations Development Program's Transfer ofKnowledge through Expatriate(移居国外的)Nationals,which encourages technicians and scientists to work in their own countries forshort periods. But the brain drain(人才流失)from thesecountries may well increase in response to the new laws of the internationalmarket in knowledge.
Recent studies forecast thatthe most developed countries are going to need more and more highly qualified professionalsaround twice as many as their educational systems will be able to produce, orso it is thought. As a result there is an urgent need for developing countrieswhich send students abroad to give preference to fields where they need competentpeople to give muscle to their own institutions, instead of encouraging thetraining of people who may not come back because there are no professionaloutlets for them. And the countries of the South must not be content withinstitutional structures that simply take back professionals sent abroad, theymust introduce flexible administrative procedures to encourage them to return.If they do not do this, the brain drain is bound to continue.
