President Dr Mohamed Muizzu has announced that the Administration is exploring the feasibility of closing schools for Ramadan each year, without affecting the total number of teaching hours.
He announced ‘Rayyithunnaa Eku,’ a podcast the President’s Office hosted.
Speaking on the Rayyithunnaa Eku podcast, he noted that this year’s academic calendar initially kept schools open for one week of Ramadan, but following positive feedback from parents, the closure was extended for the full month.
The Administration now aims to continue this practice annually.
The President also highlighted the benefits of closing schools during Ramadan, stating that it would allow students and parents more time for worship.
In this context, the President reaffirmed the Government’s commitment to supporting Eid celebrations and facilitating religious observances.
