The intention of Austrian merchants is to bring students from East Africa to Austria to work as laborers. This contrast is actually not surprising, just like how many housemaids from the Philippines in the previous world held college degrees. Moreover, East Africa itself has promoted secondary level compulsory education, but the local demand cannot absorb everyone, with many still engaging in agriculture. Thus, going to Austria to work as industrial workers is also a good choice.
Students from East Africa who have a diploma, a certain level of cultural literacy, and most importantly, speak German, can be slightly trained to become high-quality industrial workers. Their wages are definitely lower than those with the same educational level in Austria, offering high cost-to-performance value, so it's very reasonable.
