Oxford Big Read Global is a reading competition for primary and secondary school students in Pakistan. Students who participate in the competition will be required to read
Oxford Readers and do different age-wise activities based on the levels they belong to.

Winners are selected nationally through participating Oxford University Press branches, who then become semi-finalists in the regional competition across Asia, earning awards and prizes.

* Shortlisted students will be decided by their respective schools, and their entries will be sent to Oxford University Press offices for the final selection.

All students from classes 1–9, studying in schools of Pakistan, can join the Oxford Big Read Global competition. All entries must be submitted through the class teacher of each class and school. Each class will participate according to its level category.
