NOTES

Schools use various methods of rewards to motivate students, such as:
- Praise: Teachers provide positive comments to encourage students to work hard.
- Achievement points: Reward systems introduce a competitive element to motivate students further.
- Contact home: Positive communication with parents can result in praise and gifts, motivating students to continue working hard.
- Treat trips: Participation in visits and trips may be dependent on behavior, encouraging students to excel.
- Privileges: Students doing well may receive privileges like positions of responsibility, uniform changes, or extended free time, motivating them to succeed.
- Peer mentors and role models: Seeing other students rewarded for their efforts motivates students to follow suit.
- Scholarships: Awards are given to recognize students' efforts and encourage them to keep working hard, especially in areas like sports.
These methods help create a positive environment and inspire students to strive for success.
