Avid readers awarded prizes
More than 80 students from Hong Kong's primary and secondary schools today (Friday) received prizes at an Education Department presentation ceremony in recognition of their achievements in extensive English reading.
Among the participants, 14 "best readers" have each read more than 100 books in the 1995-96 school year.
The Hong Kong Extensive Reading Scheme in English (HKERS) is an Education Department initiative aimed at promoting reading habits among students and improving their English proficiency through reading.
Some 75,000 students from 139 secondary and 41 primary schools in Hong Kong took part in the scheme in the 1995-96 school year. Seventy-seven other schools are joining in September.
HKERS was introduced in secondary schools in September 1991 and extended to primary schools in the 1995-96 school year,
