School timings in Dubai during Ramadan should not exceed five hours of instruction time

According to the Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA), school hours in Dubai during Ramadan shall not go over five hours. This announcement was made on Wednesday. The nation's holy month is predicted to begin on March 12; however, due to regional moon sightings, exact dates may differ significantly.

Most schools would confer with parents in the meantime to ascertain the precise dates before submitting it to the KDHA. Certain schools operate from 7.45 a.m. to 12.45 p.m., Monday through Thursday, and observe regular school hours on Fridays.

The management of Dubai's private schools has also been instructed by the education authorities to decide when to begin and terminate. The school hours will be adjusted to accommodate parents and the school, particularly when the institutions prepare for the holy month. 

The objective of this programme is to prioritise the well-being of children and establish ideal learning environments for private school students throughout the auspicious month. All enrolled pupils are to be made aware of the importance of the Holy Month, with an emphasis on imparting spiritual values related to Ramadan. It's important to remember that internal examinations for the majority of UAE schools would have likely concluded before Ramadan began.
