Dubai Schools to re-open August 31st despite Ramadan pleas
Schools in Dubai will re-open at the end of August, as scheduled, much to the dismay of parents, since they believe Ramadan fasting will be tough for children. Gulf News reports:
“All administrative and teaching staff will resume their duties on the announced date of August 24, while classes will start on August 31 in reference to the ministerial decision concerning the academic calendar that was announced earlier and there will be no delay or postponement,” said Mohammad Bin Hindi, executive director for Institutional Affairs and Supporting Services at the ministry.
