In 2019, Education First organized the “Misr Schools” competition to select the best public or distinguished language schools in each governorate, using the evaluation form of Education First and under the supervision of the Ministry of Education and Technical Education, with a trained team of directors and deputies of public language schools nationwide.

As a result, the total number of winning schools was 27 each year nationwide. The foundation later increased this number to have two schools winning first and second place in each governorate, bringing the total to 54 schools in 2020.

Candidate schools are evaluated through a specific evaluation form, starting with an initial assessment by the director of the public schools administration and their deputy, along with the working team.

The second evaluation stage is conducted by the Education First team to finalize the winning schools of the competition.

It is worth noting that the school evaluation criteria include all administrative and academic aspects, as well as health, safety, resources, and student life in the school.
