After a 14-year hiatus, Saudi Arabia announces the return of studies in Ramadan

The Saudi Ministry of Education announced the resumption of studies in the month of Ramadan for all educational levels, after the suspension of studies in Ramadan in Saudi Arabia continued for 14 years.

The study resumed in Ramadan, in all Saudi educational levels, after stopping teaching in this holy month, for about 14 years.

The Saudi Ministry of Education said in a statement, "During the first school day of Ramadan, Sunday, more than 6 million male and female students attended in all academic levels in public, private and foreign public education schools and universities, and special education institutes and programs."

The ministry urged its departments to highlight the "real value of seeking knowledge during the month of Ramadan and the balance it represents in which the student shares the reward of worship and fasting."

According to the official Saudi Al-Ekhbariya channel, the study returned today, Sunday, in the month of Ramadan, "after 14 years."

The suspension of studies in the month of Ramadan was due to the most prominent reasons for preserving the fasting students for this month and taking into account the existence of hardship in fasting, and its return witnessed a divergence of opinions in family and educational circles.
