As the holy month of Ramadan approaches, schools across the UAE are adjusting their schedules, completing syllabus, and organizing special events to celebrate the occasion. Many institutions have already finished their academic curriculum, ensuring a smooth transition into the holy month Ramadan 2025, which is expected to begin by March 1.
Academic Readiness and Exam Preparation
Several schools, particularly those following the Indian curriculum, have completed their syllabus ahead of time, allowing students to focus on their final examinations without added pressure. While senior students continue with board exams, younger grades are engaged in revision sessions to consolidate their learning.
Special Activities to Celebrate Ramadan
To embrace the spirit of Ramadan, schools are fostering an atmosphere of unity and generosity. Decorated spaces, charity initiatives, and themed activities help students understand the values and traditions associated with the month. Younger children are introduced to Ramadan through interactive learning sessions, while charity drives encourage students to practice kindness and compassion.
Institutions have also organized a variety of events, including Islamic studies sessions to deepen understanding, school-wide iftar gatherings to promote community bonding, and creative competitions that allow students to express the essence of Ramadan through art.
Adjusting Learning Pace While Prioritizing Wellbeing
With reduced school hours in place, educators have reassured families that learning will continue at a steady pace. While some schools have completed their syllabus, others are adjusting lesson plans to accommodate the shorter days while maintaining a balanced approach to academics and wellbeing.
Educators emphasize that Ramadan is a time for reflection, calmness, and togetherness. Initiatives such as reading sessions, family engagement programs, and mindfulness activities are being introduced to support students’ holistic development during this period.
Strengthening Cultural and Spiritual Connections
Many institutions are launching initiatives aimed at deepening students’ engagement with Ramadan. Programs encouraging family participation in Islamic traditions, daily reflection activities, and Quran recitation sessions are being introduced to strengthen spiritual growth.
Additionally, online classes are being offered for parents to refine their understanding of Quranic recitation, allowing them to further immerse themselves in the significance of the holy month.
With careful planning, schools are ensuring that students can balance their academic responsibilities while fully experiencing the cultural and spiritual essence of Ramadan. The focus remains on creating an inclusive, supportive environment where learning and tradition go hand in hand..
