Proud Bahraini student, Mohammed Jassim Mubarak, has received a well-deserved royal pat on his back for winning a prestigious regional reading contest.
His Majesty King Hamad’s representative for humanitarian work and youth affairs Shaikh Nasser bin Hamad Al Khalifa met the student from Ahlia Private School yesterday and noted that his achievement embodies the intellectual and creative potential of Bahraini youth.
This enables them to excel in prominent regional and international competitions, Shaikh Nasser added.
Mohammed secured second place in the ninth Arab Reading Challenge, which attracted the participation of more than 32 million students from 50 Arab and international countries.
Launched in 2015 under the vision of UAE Vice President, Prime Minister and Dubai Ruler Shaikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Arab Reading Challenge began as a call to revive the Arabic language and restore reading to its central place in education and culture.
Shaikh Nasser said Mohammed’s accomplishment reflects the advanced capabilities of Bahraini students and the support they enjoy under the leadership of His Majesty King Hamad and His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, which continues to drive Bahrain’s progress and excellence in the educational sector.
He praised Mohammed’s determination and excellence, expressing confidence that this success will inspire further initiatives in the fields of reading and culture, while motivating his peers to strive for distinction.
The young student expressed appreciation for the honour, noting that meeting Shaikh Nasser constitutes a source of pride and encouragement to continue pursuing excellence.
He extended gratitude to the leadership, his family, school and all those who supported him throughout his journey.
