\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Panama this year elected a new President. Is English still on the agenda, as it was with the previous government? And how does the country fare in terms of English speakers generally?<\/p>\n

Panama has come a long way economically. The Central American<\/a> country of little over four million has seen its economy grow at a rate of\u00a0average annual rate of 5.6% over the last five years \u2013 making it one of the\u00a0fastest growing economies in the world.<\/p>\n

It is only natural then for it to be seen as a Nearshoring destination. And top Nearshoring destinations need good English speakers in order to really thrive.<\/p>\n

But as an English-speaking nation, how well does it fare? Nearshore Americas dig some digging to find out exactly what the current situation was.<\/p>\n

English is highly valued in Panama \u2013 and almost all companies are now demanding it\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Companies will pay considerably more for English speakers in Panama<\/a> so it is being pushed as a key skill like never before. With multinationals being told the country is a great spot to be, they are eying up the country and its fast-growing economy.<\/p>\n

The country\u2019s government is targeting four priority vocations as being vital for the country\u2019s growth: finance and banking services, hotels and tourism, construction, and information technology workers. And in order to recruit accordingly for these roles, the country\u2019s government knows there needs to be a talent pool that includes English-speakers.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a very common requirement \u2013 more common than ever before \u2013 that companies want bilingual personnel,\u201d says Ariel Ayala, Business Development Manager at outsourcing firm\u00a0ManpowerGroup<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cPanama as a Nearshore destination like never before, with more and more companies coming here \u2013 be it call centers or in IT \u2013 and they are asking for people to speak English.\u201d<\/p>\n

The youth are being targeted\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

One program the government launched is the The Panama Bilingual Program. The program\u2019s goal was to create 10,000 bilingual teachers and 260,000 bilingual students by 2020 by putting additional lessons taught in English for elementary school students, and after-school English classes for secondary school students. But Panama has recently changed its government with the election this year of new President\u00a0Laurentino Cortizo so it\u2019s not certain whether that particular program \u2013 which was bearing fruit<\/a> \u2013 will continue.<\/p>\n

But it is still a top priority for the youth to improve their English. Those at public schools in Panama do not currently leave with a good standard of English, according to\u00a0Ayala. Universities need to step their game up too and this is something the government has always realized and wants to change.<\/p>\n

The similarity between Panamanian English and U.S. English compared to what is seen in other Latin American countries\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is a very strong point. Panama has strong ties with the U.S., historically.\u00a0Panama\u2019s location and role in global trade make its success vital to U.S. prosperity and national security and the U.S. and Panama have signed a bilateral investment treaty and a Trade Promotion Agreement. Culturally, Panama is also closer to the U.S. than other countries in Latin America and, of course, the national currency is the U.S. dollar. So Panamanians have a lot of exposure to the States.<\/p>\n

This has an impact on the way they speak English, too. It is closer culturally to U.S. English and Panamanians, naturally, are more likely to understand certain terms and concepts relevant to the U.S. \u2013 something other nations in the region can\u2019t boast. This is in part due to the large number of Americans living there throughout the 20th Century and the building of the Panama Canal<\/a>. Nearly\u00a0nearly 100,000 Americans came to live and work in the Canal Zone and the influence is undeniable.<\/p>\n

English is expected to improve in the future\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Maybe a point applicable to many Latin American countries but it is expected things can only get better from here in terms of the number of English speakers in Panama. From the government initiatives to foreign companies eying up the country, Panamanians \u2013 young people especially \u2013 are realizing how much further they can go in terms of their careers if they have English under their belt.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s going to increase, definitely,\u201d says\u00a0Ayala.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople are realizing that the labor market down here is very competitive \u2013 if people have English they can have higher salaries. It\u2019s definitely likely to increase because we have headquarters of a lot of multinational companies, any person who is very serious about their career knows they now need to speak English.\u201d<\/p>\n

The government appears committed\u00a0 \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

As previously mentioned, it isn\u2019t certain whether the new government will continue with the exact <\/em>English-teaching program of the previous one. But\u00a0Ayala says this is nothing to worry about. The new government has actually already reportedly been investing in resources<\/a> to help English teachers \u2013 despite being elected just a few months ago.<\/p>\n

<\/form>\n

\u201cYes, it\u2019s true that new governments here don\u2019t always take action on the previous government\u2019s initiatives but it\u2019s definitely a priority for any government to have a bilingual population,\u201d he tells Nearshore Americas.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd in Panama especially, because of the companies based here are asking for bilingual people. The government now may apply some changes to the previous program but it will definitely be a priority.\u201d<\/p>\n
