Thirty-four secondary school students from all ten administrative regions were awarded bursaries when the Burnham Educational Scholarship Trust (BEST) held its annual bursary awards ceremony today at the People’s National Congress Reform (PNCR) Headquarters, Congress Place, Sophia.

The bursaries, valued at $920,000, were awarded to 22 continuing students and 12 new students for the 2012, 2013 and 2014 academic years, a release from the PNCR said. BEST awards are made on the basis of the students’ results at the annual National Grade Six Assessments (NGSA), which are certified by the Ministry of Education. This PNCR photo shows the awardees.
