Online Tutoring: India vs Pakistan
India is the land of outsourcing. Outsourcing success is changing the Indian economy and creating some decent number of jobs every year. On the other hand, Pakistan has just started its effort towards achieving ICT excellence. India and Pakistan may have bitter rivalry in many things (including politics and sports) but when it comes to ICT and outsourcing, India is way ahead. However, in the field of online tutoring, it seems that Pakistan stands in a good chance of outshining India.
Why Pak will have more online tutors than India- this report was not published in a Pakistani newspaper but I found it in the website of Times of India. The report stated:
“Pakistan is likely to do better than India in capturing the global Educational Services Outsourcing market, which is estimated to grow by 90 per cent in the US alone in next ten years.
"Though, India has been the winner in IT outsourcing, both countries are on equal footing in educational services outsourcing. In fact, Pakistan may have a slight edge in outsourcing to the US as the Urdu language phonetics more closely resemble the American accent," TutorsWithoutLimits (TWL) official Glynn Willet, said, on Friday.”
This is certainly good news for Pakistan. I think that ICT traders of Bangladesh, Nepal and Sri Lanka have something to learn from this example. It is reality that India has emerged as the outsourcing super power and it is difficult for any country to surpass India in it. However, other countries can surpass India if they target one particular specific field. Pakistan is doing it in online tutoring. I guess that Bangladesh, Nepal and Sri Lanka can focus on a particular field and outshine India.
