And how do you make your country not crap? Well, it starts with educating people. But when you educate them, they leave. You've effectively been forced to subsidise the skilled workforce of another country and your own country is worse than it was to begin with. This is a stupid petty response that doesn't really make any sense and is also deeply and unnecessarily offensive to large parts of the world.
Some stay. And if the younger ones coming up find a lot of peers are also educated, they'll stay too, to work with them.
Yes, you lose some. But not all. And that's how you start.
Your arguments seem to rest on highly questionable assumptions like 'when you educate them, they leave'.
Care to post a source suggesting that education in isolation leads to people leaving in majority numbers?
Most countries that are the recipients of skilled migrants won't allow entrance without a university degree. Education is a precondition for this migration. That's why it's called "brain drain". If people aren't educated, it doesn't matter if they leave or not.
This in no way answers the question and is not a source of any kind that supports the argument you made.
