The students’ overall performance in the other subjects is also taken into consideration in the selection of prize winners.
3 This year, a total of 33 pupils are awarded the Prime Minister's Book Prize - 12 in the Primary section, 14 in the Secondary section and seven in the Pre-University section. The names of the recipients are given at Annexes A1-3.
