Writers for a major UK essay writing service are often highly educated and based locally, according to a new study that debunks the stereotype that this work is usually conducted in the Global South.
The research by Olumide Popoola, an education developer at Queen Mary University of London, emerged after a new law banning businesses from completing assignments on behalf of students came into force in England.
Mr Popoola’s analysis of people listed as freelancing for Nottingham-based Academic Knowledge on LinkedIn found 54 of 70 employees said they were based in the UK, with seven in Kenya and the rest in Australia, Poland and the US.
