Education Turns to Outsourcing

Filed in archive Outsourcing News on February 26, 2007

I think that we could consider outsourcing as an evolving industry because there are different changes and innovations in this industry. One institution which seems to consider outsourcing is education.


Online tutoring is fast becoming a very big industry. Online tutoring is considered as a big business opportunity in countries like US, Europe and East Asia. Most of the companies offering online tutoring wants to find a way to save on money hence their decision to outsource.

Online tutoring rates in the US costs around $40 to $60 an hour. In outsourcing, the rate could go down as much as $20 an hour. Outsourcing workers in India are now the people in charge of providing online tutorial to their clients residing in US or Europe.

Personally, I find this industry quite interesting because it just proves that education in these outsourcing countries are able to cope with the global standards thus allowing them to conduct online tutorials.
