In another thread relating to TC students the following information was provided:

Another is the propensity of TCs to move out of the island either for higher education in the UK for example, or find work in Europe.
Given the isolation, it provides the primary driver for the TC brain drain. I don't have the statistics, but students are moving to the larger EU countries, some to US rather than integrating in the South.

This is remarked upon also by USAID.

The disenchantment of the Turkish Cypriot community is reflected in an ongoing process of emigration, including many of the young, and a resulting brain drain.

How is this affecting future prospects for the regime in the north? It can't be a healthy situation to have the brightest and best youngsters leaving to finish their education, to qualify in desirable professions which could be of great benefit to Cypriot society, and those same individuals choosing never to return because of lack of opportunity in the north. If reunification occurred would the brain drain decrease?

Anyone out there who would say they are part of the TC brain drain? If so, why did you leave, and what would have to change to make you return?

Actually, there was no difference detected on the TC Brain Drain after YFred left the island.!

My last jab before the year ends.

Happy New Year, YFred.!

Of course, this might have something to do with it!

Well, they may 'romantically' see themselves as part of a "brain drain" but when they get abroad, they are soon exposed for the cerebral weaklings they are ...

Longitudinal analysis of SATs results by ethnicity shows that Bangladeshi and Turkish/Turkish Cypriot pupils are the worst performing apart from Travellers of Irish heritage and Gypsy/Roma.

To address the needs of these children, the Ethnic Minority Achievement Service:
• wrote two electronic toolkits for schools about Bangladeshi and Turkish/Turkish Cypriot communities which were then placed on the Essex Grid for Learning;
• provided targeted funding for schools with Bangladeshi Boys at Key Stage 1 and in Year 3 classes for 2008/9;
• offered twilights to discuss strategies focused on meeting the literacy needs of pupils;
• organised a free conference for schools;
• commissioned three researchers of Bangladeshi and Turkish/Turkish Cypriot heritage to carry out research with pupils and families from the Bangladeshi and Turkish/Turkish Cypriot communities over a two month period.

The purpose of the research was to find out parent and pupil perceptions of schooling in Essex and identify ways in which schools could change practice in order to cater more appropriately for these pupils.
