Capitalist schools
If education is any predictor of the future, fans of global capitalism may still have their day. This past summer, as world
markets wobbled and foreign money said adieu to emerging economies, hundreds of thousands of young professionals
from all over the world mailed in their business-school applications.
Most of them went to the United States, ( I ) a lucky hundred thousand students are just starting their M.B.A. classes.
And many of them came from outside of America, ( II ) free markets and large bonus checks are, apparently, still
something to strive for.
This year, as many as 30 percent to 40 percent of the students in America’s top M.B.A. programs will be from outside
the United States, up from the teens and twenties 10 years ago.
Many more of them would like to attend but get turned down; the McLean, Virginia-based Graduate Management Admission Council estimates that foreign students comprise up to 65 percent of the total applicant pool to business schools.
Foreign university students in the United States are nothing new, of course. The total number ( III ) onstant at about half
a million since 1994. What ( IV ) is their preferred field of study – and ( V ) they do once they get their degrees. A generation
ago the top choice was engineering, and many students hoped to stay on to market their new skills in the United States.
No more. Now the hot diploma is in business and, having earned it, most students eventually head back home.
A lot of companies are sponsoring the education of their most promising young managers. Twenty-nine-year-old Brazilian student Rodrigo Abreu is attending the Stanford School of Business courtesy of his employer, Promon, a Brazilian
telecom-systems integrator. With the rapid deregulation of that country’s communications industry, Promon must do battle
with the likes of Lucent and NEC. The financial and organizational skills that Abreu brings home from Stanford will help.
“We were always a company run by engineers,” says Abreu, ( VI ) has an engineering degree himself. “Now we are starting to get more into the business side of integration.” Abreu and another Promon employee were the first to be sent for
degrees in the States.
Eight others take videoconference courses in Brazil through a University of Michigan Business School program.

Water coolers to help pupils think
A campaign has been launched in Yorkshire schools to encourage children to drink more water a
to increase their concentration. Studies have found that children who are dehydrated do not work b
as well in the classroom as those who have drunk the recommended eight glasses of water a day. c
Yorkshire Water has run a pilot project in Leeds in which water coolers were put in three
schools. There was a significant increase in the amount of water the children drank and the d
company now plans to put the coolers in every primary school in Yorkshire over the next three e
years. One of the schools involved in the pilot was Otley Ashfield Primary in north Leeds. Head f
teacher Yvonne Davison said she supported the initiative “wholeheartedly”. “All brain activity is
neurological and is a chemical activity which doesn’t function without water. Children who are g
dehydrated don’t learn well.”
h
Dr Martin Schweiger, a consultant at Leeds Health Protection Unit, said dehydration in childhood i
can cause serious health problems in adults. “If children don’t drink enough water, the delicate enzyme systems their bodies depend on start to get out of kilter. “And long-term problems of infection, j
kidney disease and high blood pressure are the price many people pay for drinking too little as a k
child.” “The time has come to take the tap water out of the toilets”
