One of the highest English Proficiency index among all Asian countries that were included in the report is Malaysia with 55.54 high proficiency level and it is ranked number 9. Among the Filipinos, the ranking report has received some criticism and the Philippines was not included in the ranking.
The country was not included in English Proficiency, however it does not signify that Philippine if far lower than Kazakhstan with a very low EPI of 31.75 and ranked 44th. From Philippines insufficient data was the main reason that Philippines was not included in the ranking, this is base to the executive Hong Kong Office.
From 2007 to 2009, it is needed to be included in the ranking the 400 EF test takers minimum limit per country. It is excluded that less than 100 test takers in every two or more tests offered by English Proficiency per country. It becomes more difficult to provide testing as well as the gathering of data because there are only few Filipinos took the English Proficiency exams and considering the English Proficiencydoes not have an office in the Philippines.
Including the Philippines in their future ranking is possible after several months from three of four from now on, this is said by Feng. The Philippines has a good English Speaking population representing half a million employees of English-Proficient in outsourcing business industry even though the Philippines was not included in the English Proficiency. The executive vice president for the Business Process Association of the Philippines or BPAP, John Langford said that the Philippines has a competitive edge in English Proficiency, this is due to its affinity with Western Cultures.
