African Graduates Return Home

African graduates from U.S. and European institutions of higher learning are increasingly returning to their home nations, reports Quartz. Studies show that between 70% and 90% of African graduate students abroad intend to return to Africa. 

This trend has some roots in the difficulties African graduates have in finding employment in the West.

But there is also an issue of “responsibility,” a “genuine sense that if you’re not going back to fix Africa, who is going to do it?”
