Student honors awarded in the 20th century

It is interesting to mention that there are virtually no student honors from the 20th century, except for the student medals awarded by the Ribar Brothers Fund established in 1966, which were used in the 1970s and 1980s. Such medals were awarded for excellent success at the end of each completed grade – CONGRATULATION, for excellent success at the end of the final primary school grade – CONGRATULATION, and for excellent success in all primary school grades – RIBAR BROTHERS MEDAL. These medals were standardized and gold-plated and were normally kept in a special transparent plastic box. All three medals shapes and the associated documents are part of the Collection of School Equipment and Paraphernalia.

Apart from these, only one other student honor is available: a Plaque awarded by Mile Mraović Simić Primary School in Karlovac to the best student of the generation.
