The Ministry of Education yesterday awarded 74 schools from across the country for outstanding school attendance.
The awards were conferred at an awards ceremony that was held at the National Cultural Centre as part of Education Month activities.
The Ministry of Education said in a statement yesterday that the schools were chosen after they achieved an overall attendance rate of 95% or above.
St Margret’s Primary, St Gabriel Nursery and St Stanislaus College received special awards for being the schools that would have had the most pupils with a 100% attendance rate.
