194 students receive prizes at the Ministry of Education’s (MOE) Special Awards ceremony held virtually last Tuesday afternoon.
Director-General of Education Wong Siew Hoong said at the opening of the ceremony that the special awards have a long history of recognising achievements in a variety of areas.
The special awards consist of 11 prizes. They include the Prime Minister’s Book Prize – an award for bilingualism which was first given out in 1974.
All the special awards are funded by donations from Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong and founding prime minister Lee Kuan Yew.
