CAIRO, April 3 (KUNA) -- Two Kuwaiti middle school students won the third and fifth places in a cultural contest held recently by the Arab League.
Speaking to KUNA, Arab Language Supervisor at the Kuwaiti Education Ministry, Makkiya Al-Haj, said that Ibrahim Al-Awadhi won third place in the Arabic eloquence contest, while Balqees Al-Ghanim won fifth place in the same competition.
She said that Kuwait had been taking part in this competition, organized by the Arab League's Cultural Department, for the past 13 years, noting that some 14 Arab countries competed in it.
