I don't know if you have any options, but in order to make sentence 6 more formal, you could write something like this:
"Moreover, students will benefit from having the most current information."
Given that the rest of the text is written academically and formally, this sentence too has to be professional and convey the same tone and message. So you could do that by replacing informal words and tone with some more professional ones.
