TO Bee or not to Bee! Dawn’s annual Spelling Bee has become a much awaited event for students and schools across Pakistan.

Beginning with the first ever National Spelling Bee Championship in 2005, Dawn celebrated its tenth Spelling Bee in October 2014. With every passing year the bar has been raised higher and students have met the challenges confidently and successfully, proving their language proficiency.

Dawn is to be commended for the smooth country-wide management of this mega-event and its logistics. Oxford University Press is proud to collaborate with Dawn in building students’ language skills and confidence, and congratulates the winning students and schools of Dawn in Education Spelling Bee 2014.
