RABAT - The brain drain of young professionals from Morocco has become a centre of debate and controversy in intellectual, media and official circles. The kingdom has the second highest rate of brain drain in the Middle East and North Africa region, a recent study indicated. Minister of National Education, Vocational Training, Higher Education and Scientific Research Said Amzazi said FINCOME is one of many strategies and programmes Morocco has been working to implement to stop brain drain. Motadhad said the real reasons behind the brain drain in Morocco is the desire of those migrating to improve their personal economic and social conditions and those of their families, in addition to their search for self-development and for building their career paths. Each year, thousands of doctors and engineers in Morocco leave the country headed to Europe.
