While attracting global talent is commendable, offering no-strings attached one-year visas for STEM graduates from top-100 universities to Spain overlooks the underlying issues of inequality and education. Such a policy could exacerbate educational elitism and neglect the crucial investment needed in domestic education and opportunities for all, not just the elite from prestigious universities. We should instead focus on broadening access to quality education and training for everyone, fostering an inclusive society that uplifts local and global talent equally.
