Answer:
By prizes, I will take it to mean the book prizes or book token given out by some schools at their annual speech and prize-giving day.
Not every school have an annual prize-giving day, but there are some long-established schools that carry on this tradition, being handed down from the colonial days. As far as I am concerned ‘this promise of prizes once a year does not inspire the pupils, in general, to perform better. My reasons are as below.
Normally only one prize is given for each subject in a form. The students know very well beforehand who would win a particular prize. In any case, they can pick out a handful of students, maybe three or four, who might stand a chance in receiving a prize. So, the desire to improve is present only in those few students. The rest of the class could not be bothered because they know they have no chance. This lack of interest is shown in the best class. As for the poorer classes in the form, the students would not even attend the prize-giving day, much less compete for a prize.
