I thought it was interesting that the agents for educational demand (p.16) would be him/herself and parents, as I could relate to this.
I would also add the state, through scholarships. It would be seen as a state investment. The purpose is for them to be absorbed into the civil service or to work in a related field in the country.

I would also like to add that it could also be mentioned that in collaborative learning there can always be a member who could be dominating the discussion which can make students less comfortable about their own contributions.
Then there are those which we call "lurker" who need to be encouraged to contribute more since it is always about being open and sharing ideas.
