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.
Kuwait's participation reflects its keenness for the preservation of the
Arabic language, Al-Haj added.
