Why Is Britannia Gateway needed?
In Hong Kong and across Asia, we often tend to think that education means just one thing – excellent grades. However, internationally, educators hold a slightly different perspective.
In the UK, when assessing prospective students, the best schools and universities do not just want a strong academic record; they also want to see pupils who are:
Well-Rounded And Well-Read
