Just out of curiosity, what do you think of Indians teaching Africans without Africans having to go to India? Apparently tha's whats happening with Ethiopia.
Over 4500 kilometres – that's the physical distance that an Indian engineering institute is traversing virtually as it teaches students sitting in a class in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
Many students in Ethiopia are studying engineering and technology in virtual classrooms, with some of their teachers still present in the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi, which is helping that country become tech-savvy.
"Initially, we have a four-year agreement with Ethiopia. Our job is to develop curriculum, set up a laboratory, give teachings both through virtual classroom and face-to-face mode. We are also responsible for students' evaluation. But the degree will be awarded by the Addis Ababa University," said Balakrishnan, a senior professor in the school of computer science at the IIT.

Do you see this as a problem too?
Distance education has been happening in the USA for quite some time now, so why would that be a problem. No Ethiopian sitting in Addis Ababa is getting their asses kicked by a bunch of Indians in India. That still does not relieve the African nations of investing in their educational systems and in their people.
Again, I have to ask; how is it that ex-slaves in the USA could build over 100 colleges to educate their masses; but African nations with their massive resources can't?
