With the vigorous development of its economy, the price of their even London seems to be cheap and their foreign the world's most ambitious policy the level of one of currency (the President Dilma ROM plug this week will be the eve to the first woman to open in the UN general assembly constantly debate), the Brazilian people are used to go traveling abroad, business, shopping and diplomacy. Now, their students to finally get to see the world, thanks to government incentives an important plans designed to reward 75000 scholarships, to take part in the world first-class university. Aloizio MEL's science and technology minister, Brazil kadan, said: "the only available to the Brazilian national strategic importance research subjects, such as engineering, they reflect" efforts to form a government in science and technology elite leap.
This is a long-awaited agenda, not only in Brazil, but all of Latin America. In 2009-10 school year, for example, Brazil, nearly 2 million people in the United States, the national university less than 9000 students; , compared, China has more than 127000100 000 India and South Korea 72000. This is a big reason in the world, and more than a third of research and development in Asia, and less than 3% of today in Latin America. Therefore, the whole regions of the country is going into the first class institutions, such as Harvard University, Stanford university, Oxford University and the Sorbonne university, their best and the most intelligent. Ecuador announced last month that it its biggest scholarship program, but hope to overseas sent more than 1000 students, and in 2011 the Columbia place than foreign more people in the past 18 years combined. Chile is expanding their plan, to provide 30000 scholarship in 2018, even small el Salvador now have a study abroad programs. (S [T {A}] Sao Paulo photos.)
Brazil's efforts, called science without borders, involves the federal agency support and graduate education evaluation (CAPES), this will support 40000 scholarships, the national science and technology development committee, this will fund 35000. The country is expected to private sector funds another 25000. "This is an ambitious plan," said Dennis Neddermeyer, CAPES "international affairs department director." But it can't be alone-it need to strengthen international cooperation efforts. "
This is President Obama's visit to South America giant in last spring's a major power. He and ROM plug fu agreed to work important education, students' communication more closely increase, especially in as science, technology, engineering and mathematics in the field of research and development cooperation, dry. Thus the American colleges and universities recruit without borders "awarded the winners, they will continue to in engineering research, YingKeXue, mathematics, energy, sustainable development, the environment, the biotechnology and health sciences half.
Increases the scholarship investment is possible, because Latin American countries is abundant, from the ball cash commodities boom, in the past 10 years-most of which has already been everything in China, from oil to steel soybean greed driven. At the same time, its economy largely avoid infection in Europe and the United States is the economic collapse coincidence, the world's largest iron ore, soybeans, sugar and beef producers to Brazil, Chile copper's biggest exporter, grants the largest number of-or the last year, a year-on-year increase of 15.3% and 8.8%, respectively, Paraguay, Peru and between the new study abroad, investors (about the new Brazilian President Dilma ROM plug, Genevieve reading.)
Experts scholarship plan, but they warn that the government has to take additional steps, get full benefits. A potential obstacle is foreign language ability. (Brazil have recognized the problem, and is considering expanding the subsidies, including training.) Another is to make sure students apply for home, and share their knowledge. And students' traffic should not just be a one-way: "this should be a more extensive part of the program, this means that the students from the outside, there is a real communication," jie lal nunes said, in the federal university of international agreements, coordinator of the Rio DE janeiro. "The [Brazil university] don't have the means to do so or infrastructure."
This raises another key problem: in Latin America, improve the elementary, middle and higher education. Like Brazil and other countries of the students to continue in the international mathematics, science and reading test scores at the bottom; And they of the university, still often immersed in the area of colonial old teaching method, produce too much and too little engineers psychological expertise. The reality that Latin American economic hard goods to computers, from from soybeans to solar panels. In Brazil, for example, recently like aerospace and other field has made significant progress, and its world-class regional jet aircraft company, Brazil aviation industry proof. But the region is still is year, if not decades, such as South Korea behind the Asian tigers.
However, the new trend is fledgling signs, if the welcome, Latin American governments provide a new priority education-eventually "towards sustainable innovation, competitiveness and enterprise strategic sector leadership, said:" MEL's science and technology minister, Brazil kadan. All cash on hand, now is the time.
