In a statement, Sheikh Mohammed said, "Our continued support of reading initiatives stems from our belief that the first message from heaven that was sent down to us was the word 'read'... and that the secret of the development of nations and societies lies in the depth of their culture and knowledge."
Year after year, the Arab Reading Challenge has attracted more students. The first edition in 2015 saw the participation of 3.6 million students from 19 countries, while the 7th edition in 2023 attracted 24.8 million students from 46 countries.
The Ruler also congratulated the qualifiers who made it to the national level of the challenge, applauding their perseverance and urging them to continue reading.
