It was supervised by the Education Affairs Sector represented by the Department of Curricula and Learning Resources and the Department of Private Schools Affairs.
The schools announced the names of the students who achieved the highest standards in the first stage of the internal qualifiers, which were held at the level of each school.
Nearly 1,900 male and female students competed fairly in the “Read” competition, and those who did well enough will be nominated to compete in the “Express” competition in April. Those who meet the highest standards in both competitions will then be eligible to compete in “The Arab Reading Challenge” competition, which is run by the United Arab Emirates.
