The authority has put in place 4 specifications for school timings during the Holy Month of Ramadan, taking into account students and parents.

The total duration of teaching hours should not exceed five hours in a day and the minimum number of hours for daily classes should also not be less than 3 hours.

All schools are asked not to begin classes before 9:00am.
