The bright and the brainy

Recently some bright youngsters were selected to attend top universities in America and Europe. They are some of our finest students. And they are all going on merit – not through the courtesy of the HEC.
This is how it is in the nature of things. This is happening not only in our country but all over Asia. This extraordinary brain power can change the future of our country if they return home after getting quality education and appropriate job experience in these technologically advanced and progressive societies. As long as the super rich mediocrity rules our country we will not change.
