President Dr Mohamed Muizzu has encouraged all students across the Maldives to make it a habit to wake up for Fajr prayer and begin their day with worship.
The President made these remarks during the opening ceremony of Shaheed Ali School in Hulhumalé Phase II today.
During his address, President Dr Muizzu emphasised that instilling the habit of Fajr prayer is a key responsibility of parents, urging them to be diligent in doing so. Highlighting the importance of maintaining regular prayers, listening to parents and teachers, and adhering to school regulations, the President described these disciplines as the unshakeable foundation of a child's future.
He cautioned that a weak foundation could lead to significant challenges later in life, noting that the primary purpose of school is to strengthen this base.
He reminded teachers and guardians of their shared duty to mentally prepare and guide students toward this goal, assuring them that the Government would provide the necessary support to facilitate these efforts.
Addressing educational policy, the President reaffirmed the Administration's priority on inclusive education. He highlighted that the new Shaheed Ali School is fully equipped to support students with disabilities and assured the public that the Government is committed to expanding such inclusivity across other regions of the Maldives this year.
Concluding his remarks, the President urged students to view the education provided by the Government and all stakeholders as a golden opportunity. He called on them to resolve to be students of good character and to utilise this chance to build a life grounded in strong religious faith.
During the ceremony, the President was presented with a commemorative plaque, and the event also saw the official unveiling of the school's logo.
