Education Outsourcing: Who Rules?

Filed in archive Outsourcing News on November 18, 2006

India has always been the number one outsourcing destination in the world but recent reports have shown that India's status could change particularly in the world of Education outsourcing.

Based on the research, pakistan was predicted in controlling 90% of the Educational Outsourcing Services market in the following years. Glynn Willet, an official from TutorsWithoutLimits (TWL) mentioned the reason on this prediction stating that "Pakistan may have a slight edge in outsourcing to the US as the Urdu language phonetics more closely resemble the American accent".

The prediction certainly sounds reasonable especially if the Pakistan government is able to enhance the advantage which was mentioned in this report. On the other hand, I don't think that India would not give up its position without a fight. It's interesting to see what happens in the future.
