For the first time in 10 years, Ramadan will fall within the academic school year and will continue to do so for the next 2 decades!
Ramadan will begin on Sunday, May 5th, when many universities have yet to finish for the summer. It can be a difficult month for many to get through, especially students who have to go through a normal school day without eating or drinking. For schools, it's important to provide an environment for students where they feel safe to practice their religion, but maybe more importantly, one that ensures their well-being during the school day.
