[1] Brain drain is a major problem facing developing

countries such as Morocco.The opportunities offered by
new information technologies in western countries have
attracted waves of Moroccan computer science graduates to
migrate to Europe. They go there in search of higher
salaries or better working conditions.
[2] In 1986, Dr. Mehdi ElMandjra, the Moroccan
researcher who used to work as Deputy Director of
UNESCO in human and social sciences, warned against the
negative impacts of brain migration on the development of
Morocco. In his book Premiere Guerre Civilisationnelle
(1991), he mentioned that more than 700 Moroccan
researchers at the doctoral level work for Le Centre
National de Recherche Scientifique (CNRS). Morocco, however, has not benefited from their
expertise although the cost of educating each of them is about 1,000,000 Dhs.
[3] On his part, Professor Khalid El Hariry , the president of the Moroccan Federation of
Information Technology, says that: "since 1999, the number of Moroccan immigrants abroad has
noticeably increased. Nearly 60% of the students who graduated from L’Institut National de Postes
et Télécommunications (INPT) left Morocco in 2000.
[4] Ahmed Akartit, an engineer in a mobile phone company in Rabat, said: “The technology
experts left Morocco as salaries here reach a maximum of $800 a month. In Europe, these
engineers will receive salaries ten times higher than what Moroccan private or public firms can
offer them.” The Moroccan government argues that it cannot increase salaries at a time it has to
reduce the high rate of unemployment.
[5] Conversely, Morocco wants its citizens living abroad to come back although their money
transfers are its second foreign currency source after tourism. But many expatriates in Europe say
they have worked hard to build a successful career and returning home would be risky and
uncertain.
[6] Ahmed Najm, an economist, stressed the need for Morocco to show more care for its
experts and grant more importance to scientific research. Otherwise, the country will be out of the
race. “Morocco cannot benefit from its human potential unless it takes full advantage of existing
opportunities to develop science and technology," he said.
