EDUCATION OUTSOURCING

I am not sure if you are aware of the trending within industry to outsource professional jobs out of the country - India in particular. They have a very well educated population with an powerful and extensive High School and University program that has created a tremendous workforce of engineers, system analysis, mathematicians, etc. That talent pool is hired by many companies because 1) it is cheaper and of higher quality, or 2) the talent is not available in the U. S. or is in short supply.

Well guess what? They are beginning to outsouce teaching jobs bacause of the shortage of math an science teachers.

"Close on the heels of their successful handling of Business Process Outsourcing and call centres, Indian firms will now provide private tuition facilities to British school children in mathematics and science over the internet. "
