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.
 
What do you think?

Agreed, it is good news for Pakistan if it can carve out a niche. As you rightly asay, Bangladesh, Nepal and Sri Lanka also have have something to learn from this example.

Pakistan is a land of terrorism..Where do they have tutors..They only have stinking mullahs

From a Bangladeshi

??? you really think a well meaning american or european family would let their kids be tutored by anyone from pakistan ?? in 2007 ?? are you for real ??

an indian

well Mr Bengali i think u should better watch ur country where almost half of the people livivg in below the poverty line & abt terrorism all the tererrist come in pakistan frm Afghanistan & India & every buddy knows tht beside 1% hardliners ( which every country have ) Pakistan's people are more liberal & Modern than any country in South asia..

Why think from the negative aspect? Pakistan isn't a land of terrorism. The media has portrayed it to be that way, however it slowly is rising in many ways - economically and from the educational aspect. So is India, and being part Pakistani and part Indian, I'm proud to say both countries have finally begun to show their strengths in so many areas.

thnx,

Can you do anything on your own or even for online tutoring you have to summon allah and your atomic bombs....!!!

first of all i am very happy to see such kind of comments about pakistan. its true pakistan is doing good in its own way. i am not being prejudiced but pakistani common person is living far good life then an indian. what is the point of that prosperitoy which you cant even judge by meeting its common citizen. india is doing good but that progress should be reflected through there citizen not through statistics.

Well what India is today (outsoursing superpower), isnt happened overnight, it has takes several years of planning and investment in education.Now, India is bearing the fruit for its investments in education in the previous years.Now coming to the educational outsourcing thing, i think, india has a immediate lead due to the huge population that is in its schools and colleges.I mean, ppl come to india for education from all over the world, the iit's and iim's are among some of the best in the world.I think India has already entered this feld in a big way and would be immpossible for any country in s.e asia to try to give it some competetion.

Subhanalla.Think like Pakistani tutors (aka Islamic Terrorist Mullas ) start teaching to American & Europian Kids , soooner they will be able to achive their goal of converting America & Europe to Islam ..
Since final aim for every Muslim is to increase believers of Allah..

Hi, Statistics show that india's economy is better than Pakland.but dont forget abt 450 million indians living below the line of poverty, the highest number of blind people is in india, Child labour is at its peak in india, purchasing power of indians is lower than an average Pakistani.40,000 Farmers suicided in last 3 to 5 years in india, above 40,000 indian troops resigned from indian armed forces( may be due to tense conditions) still claiming that we(indias)are super power will be not good.but I really appreciate their growth in last few years (ESPECIALLY IN IT industry)
China is is progressing more than by leaps and bounds they will surely overtake india's IT bcz they do manufacture IT equipments as well and india cannot do it in next 15 to 20 years or so.

and dont forget that SUPERIORITY COMPLEX IS THE WORST KIND OF INFIRIORITY COMPLEX

thats good news that pakistan can do better then india in online teaching , but where comes the thing of coparison here this is only one field out of several (almost 10 12) in outsourcing leave alone manufacturing pharma . and people talking about PPP (that suits u) why u r not talking about per capita income . i do not want to compare all this things even we have higher PCI. but we remain poor as compared to other (developed nations) and if u hv so large population then u can see almost anything from starving to 4th richest person of the world.
and one more thing we do not have superiority complex. infact we do not want to compared with you people again what india can do and what not leave it to indians you see your nation alone .

* INDIA HAS THE LARGEST DEMOCRACY IN THE WORLD.
* CALCULUS, TRIGONOMETRY, AND QUADRATICS WERE ORIGINATED
IN INDIA. AS WELL AS CHESS
* INDIA'S RANKING (WORLD RANKING)IS MUCH HIGHER THAT
PAKISTAN'S RANK.
* WE ARE THE ONLY COUNTRY TO HAVE A OCEAN NAMED AFTER US.
* INDIA'S LITERACY RATE IS HIGHER THAN PAKISTAN'S.
* INDIA'S ECONOMY IS RISING 3X PAKISTAN'S...MAY BE MORE NOW..
* LONG TIME AGO, INDIAN ASTROLOGERS FIRST STATED THAT PLUTO CANNOT BE A PLANET...RECENTLY NASA STATED THAT PLUTO ISN'T A PLANET ANYMORE.

BEST OF ALL....GHANDI MADE A GREAT IMPACT IN THE WORLD. GO AND ASK ANYONE IF THEY HAVE HEARD OF GANDHI AND THEY WILL SAY "YES"..THEY MAY NOT KNOW WHAT HE DID..BUT THEY'VE HEARD "GHANDI" BEFORE....THERE ISN'T ANYONE FROM PAKISTAN WHO HAS MADE AN IMPACTED AS BIG...TRUST ME...GO AND TAKE A SURVEY!

DON'T COMPARE INDIA WITH OLD FACTS...INDIA HAS GROWN IN MANY AREAS..AND STILL IS...ESPECIALLY ECONOMIC WISE.

There is no point for India to compare itself with any Islamic country what to talk of Pakistan.
These Muslims are backward by there fanatism all around the world.
Where ever they live they remain backward because of Islam.
There are 89 Islamic countries name a single country which have made significant achievement to world.
India is going to super power by 2050 ahead of US only next to china predicted by none other than IMF

Islam is epicentre of Terrorism,From US/Europe/India/Russia where ever terrorism is there it is because of Islam & all Muslim countries will remain backward there is no point in looking.
Where as Hindus & far more liberal & going to shine all around world with India becoming second biggest economy by 2050

Both India and pakistan need to improve on thier Infrastructure and other Human development parameters .
Literacy, Infant mortality and life expectancy...Srilanka is the best performer in SAARC region. INO/PAK should learn fron it..

Just comparison of some parameters:
1)Infant mortality rate in Pakitan is 138 /1000 ..which is almost double than India and worst than bangladesh
2) female literacy in Sindh and Baluchistan is 18%
3)Life expectancy is atleast 5 years less than India
4)Human development index pakistan is ranked below India(137 and 124 )
5) Top 59 countries to do bussiness is having Chile , India and even African Countries but no Pakistan
6)And Most failed state pakistan ranked 3rd...
7) Pakistani currency has lost lot of value in 2007 and Inflation is high so wat purcahsing power are prople talikg here
