Advantages like being bold and not inferior, faster learning when compared to individual learning, increases competition, exchanging ideas from people of different nationalities, learning from people of advanced nations are enough reason to convince learning cultures which doesn't partake in group work

UCAS is great but having the prerequisite is the issue for assessing them but managing students to me is the most important tool.

He meant that agents and counselors should be transparent in their dealings with students.

For a country's two universities to be ranked in top three it clearly shows that they're better in teaching, research, infrastructure wise etc than others.
