During the last decade, the services sector has seen modest liberalization on account of removal of trade and investment barriers. Most of the WTO members are committed to multilateral liberalization in services trade. However, within trade in services sector, the liberalization of education services has seen little progress. Education services sector liberalization exerts an economy-wide influence as they constitute strong inputs to all other economic activities, including trade. Some earlier studies identified several challenges related to the implementation of GATS commitments. But, very few attempted to quantify barriers to trade in education services and its characters. There is a dearth of analytical research in estimating barriers to trade in education services, particularly in the context of developing countries and LDCs.
