Delay the Top10 Ceremony 2019

Delay the Top10 Ceremony 2019

The Issue

Details: Being in the National Top Ten and receiving the honour of standing on that stage with awards in hand has been a dream for so many of us. It would have been the proudest moment for our parents and teachers. However for the award winners of 2019, the Ministry of Education has decided to hold a physical ceremony for the 1st place winners only and an online ceremony for all other rank holders. Although we are aware of the circumstances regarding the pandemic, we collectively believe that this is an unfair decision that was made while there were better options available.  


Suggestions: We feel that the best available option is to delay the ceremony until it is safe to do so. Allow all the award winners along with their parents and teachers the opportunity to take part in a ceremony that celebrates their hard work and time.
