| Summary: | Given the growing phenomenon of Venezuela’s emigration, we were interested in knowing the reasons why Venezuelan professors emigrate. Massive emigration like the one this Caribbean country is experiencing includes the exodus of valuable human talent, of very qualified personnel. Methodologically, this research is descriptive. The reasons why they decided to emigrate were identified in a sample of migrant professors. A technique of snowball sampling was used, based on the distribution of a survey in which more than 350 professors located in various countries participated. Among the main results, it is worth noting that professors emigrate in search of a better future; they look for new and better living conditions. From the academic perspective, emigration represents an opportunity to restore lost productivity due to the deterioration in both personal and professional living conditions of Venezuela’s academics. Professors migrate for various reasons but the main one seems to be their personal project of going on with their academic lives and enhancing their capacities in other countries. |
