Education Ministry announces students' attendance schedule during Ramadan

The Ministry of Education and Higher Education (MoEHE) has announced that students' attendance during the blessed month of Ramadan will be from 9am until 12.35pm, with five lessons per day, provided each school organises the schedule for imparting 25 lessons per week. The MoEHE specified the duration of the first three classes at 40 minutes for each session, and the fourth and fifth classes at 35 minutes each. There should be five minutes between each session, and the duration of the break is set at 10 minutes. The circular also specifies students' attendance at kindergartens, starting from 9.30am until 11.30am at the rate of two hours per day, and the school administration has the freedom to co-ordinate the daily schedule. The English language course will be offered at the rate of three lessons per week for each class for a period of 45 minutes, from 10.45am to 11.30am, while skills activity is limited to one hour, from 9.30am to 10.30am.
