Nice article... let me just add that graduate studies in Pakistan are also on the decline, top-schools like GIK, NUST and FAST are gradually on the decline. The dearth of PhD`s is also a severe problem. The PhDs who are already there cannot be classified as true experts. Many half-baked PhDs earn well above 6 figures because there are so few of them.

The total number of good computer scientists in Pakistan when combined will only make about one University faculty in the US. There is absolutely no research whatsoever in any Pakistani University. Subjects like for example Bio-Medical Engineering which are seen as future in US are not known by students in Pakistan.
