<p class="rtecenter"><strong>HOW STUDENTS WERE&nbsp;SELECTED</strong></p>

<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;RASSR is a donor supported programme for the top&nbsp; performers in all 10 administrative regions&nbsp; based on their Math and Science scores in the NGSA&nbsp;2021&nbsp;and the&nbsp;2022&nbsp;Mock Exams; two teachers from each Region who teach these students are also selected. Students must have scored in the top 5 in their schools and/or region in BOTH Math and science in order to be considered.&nbsp;Selection is done by a specially&nbsp;convened panel.&nbsp;While priority is given to top performing students, consideration is also given to having regional representation and obtaining at least a minimum level of gender balance.&nbsp; &nbsp;</p>
