The Sharjah Private Education Authority (SPEA) announced that schools hours in Ramadan will last between three and five hours.
During the holy month, SPEA directed schools to assign less homework and conduct fewer tests.
“The school day does not start before 9am,” and “It must not be less than three hours and not to exceed five hours, taking into account the educational stages and parents’ needs.” SPEA said in a circular.
