“…First, in the absence of reliable lists of returnees, it would have been difficult if not impossible to distribute questionnaires to this cohort. Secondly, in-depth interviews provide understanding of migrants' 'discursive consciousness' (Robinson & Carey, 2000), which is particularly important given the complexities of learning and knowledge.…”

“…The studies however, have tended to focus mainly on regions such as Latin America and India (CastonosLomnitz, 1998;Iredale, 1999;Awasthi and Chandra, 1994;Robinson and Carey, 2000) where the state of scientific and technological progress is advanced.

Abstract:The phenomenon of Sri Lankan university academics migrating after their postgraduate education appears to have increased over the years. Migration of academics who are among the brightest in the academic profession has a severe adverse impact on the quality of higher education. There are strong reasons for the 'Brain Drain', such as incomes and living standards in rich countries being substantially higher and research facilities and opportunities being better in developed countries. This article attempts to analyse the distribution of migrant academics and the funding used by them from 1990 to 2012, and to identify the reasons which motivate academics to resign from their substantive positions. The survey revealed that the majority of these academics had paid back their bonds. They were experienced in their specialised areas, had benefitted from postgraduate education and international research in eminent universities and clearly represented a category of academics that can definitely make a contribution to the Sri Lankan university system. They pointed out, however, that the decision to migrate was not merely an outcome of attractive prospects overseas, but also due to frustrations and difficulties encountered in changing even minor procedures, a lack of collegiality and teamwork and a lack of readiness to adapt and change in the country and the university system.

“…Recent migration from India to the UK is part of a larger and continuing migration established during colonial rule in India, although postwar immigration restrictions have modulated it (Lahiri 2006;Moodod et al 1998;Robinson and Carey 2000). The majority of migrants continue to originate from Gujarat and Punjab (Gillespie 1995).…”
