An important part of the council's work is to give advice and information to students who leave for higher studies in the UK. In addition to the many students assisted during the course of the year the council offered an 'Introduction to Britain' course in the summer which was attended by 100 students. Close co-operation was maintained with Education Department and some 940 students were assisted and met by the British Council on arrival in London.
