It’s full marks for Year five to Year 10 students at the British International School Abu Dhabi (BIS Abu Dhabi) after winning what is described as the highly contested Arabic language category in the 2020 Education Perfect (EP) Global Championships.
The students from BIS Abu Dhabi scored a magnificent 34,457 points, putting them safely in front of the second-place team who scored 7,141 points.
The students spent an incredible 483 hours correctly answering 267,000 questions over the seven-day competition running from 14th -21st May 2020.
During the global competition, students were tasked with working through curriculum-aligned Arabic lessons across a full suite of skills, including listening, reading, writing, and speaking.
Assile Al Amili, assistant headteacher (Arabic) at BIS Abu Dhabi, congratulated the UAE and students from BIS Abu Dhabi on the win.
“We are immensely proud of the remarkable achievement our students have made, which reflects their interest and dedication to learn the Arabic language with passion, and their love and appreciation to the Arabic and UAE culture.”
The 2020 EP Language Championships saw a 46% increase in the number of countries who participated compared to previous years.
