As the holy month of Ramadan approaches, Dubai’s educational authorities have introduced a significant adjustment to school schedules to accommodate the observance of this sacred period. The Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA) has declared that school timings in Dubai during Ramadan will be limited to a maximum of five hours of instruction time.
This decision reflects Dubai’s commitment to respecting and honoring the religious and cultural traditions of its diverse population. By reducing school hours, the initiative aims to facilitate a more balanced approach to education and religious observance during this special time.
The adjustment in school timings not only allows students and teachers to observe their religious duties with greater ease but also acknowledges the importance of family and community gatherings that are integral to the Ramadan experience.
This thoughtful gesture from the KHDA underscores Dubai’s inclusive and compassionate approach to education, prioritizing the well-being and cultural sensitivity of its students and educators.
As families across Dubai prepare to observe Ramadan, the reduced school hours provide a welcome opportunity for students to immerse themselves fully in the spiritual and communal aspects of this blessed month, while still maintaining their academic commitments.
With the support of the KHDA, schools in Dubai are poised to create a nurturing and supportive environment that fosters both academic excellence and spiritual growth during Ramadan.
As we embark on this sacred journey, let us embrace the spirit of unity, compassion, and reflection that Ramadan brings, and may this period of fasting and prayer be a source of blessings and renewal for all.
