DDHK. ORG – This Ramadan is special for the children in United Arab Emirates (UAE). This year's Ramadan is eagerly awaited by school children as it coincides with spring break across the country.
Gulf News on Wednesday (8/3/2023) said that students will be able to spend most of Ramadan at home. Holy month is expected to start on March 23 and spring break will officially start on Monday, March 27, 2023. So, Friday, March 24, 2023 will be the last day of class for the current semester.
Reporting from Republic, school children will only attend school for a day or two in Ramadan before starting spring break.
Spring break will run from March 27 to April 14 and schools will reopen on April 17. Private schools following the international curriculum will remain closed during spring break from March 27 to April 7 and classes will start on April 10 after the weekend.
