How do you know they don't and how do you think would this be achieved for cheap other than recruiting at the best (private) schools of the country?

- throwthisawayt 9y agoMy anecodatal experience is they don't because I had friends in South Africa, DRC, and Nigeria who came from more privileged middle class backgrounds and still struggled due to a lack of education. They were never recruited by tech firms due to the issues the author faced. One asked me to refer them into some of the firms here but I was unable to get them in. I don't know if it would have been cheaper to recruit them but I do know they had no chance here in America. They have hustled their way to a living but have worked 10x harder than me because I have an American citizenship and degree.
- JPLeRouzic 9y agoSometimes I wonder if it would be possible to graft a form of certification by huge companies on a MOOC curriculum for countries like CAR/CDR/etc. After all big companies do something close in IT (CISCO/Microsoft certifications). Indeed there are some eDx professional certificates but they that are really costly as they are aimed at a western audience. What about a similar certificate at $100 (one month revenue in Kivu) but in Kinyarwanda (for targeting the right students)?
