The best student in the last year
The title of "dux" in primary schools is typically awarded to the student with the highest academic achievement, often based on overall grades or performance in various subjects. The winner is recognized for their dedication, hard work, and consistent effort throughout the school year. Additionally, qualities such as leadership, participation in extracurricular activities, and contributions to the school community may also play a role in the decision. Ultimately, the specific criteria for awarding dux can vary by school.

In schools in Scotland, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and Iceland, Dux is a modern title given to the top student in academic and sporting achievement (Dux Litterarum and Dux Ludorum respectively) in each graduating year. In this usage, Dux is similar to the American concept of a valedictorian. The runner-up may be given the title Proxime Accessit (meaning "he came next") or Semidux, but is often not regarded as highly as his superior.
