Owais said that government schools, UNRWA schools, and regular private schools are included in the decision, but it does not include private schools with foreign programs.

The Ministry of Education decided on Monday to amend school hours during Ramadan. Students will start their morning classes at 9am, and their afternoon classes at 12:30pm.

The decision came, according to Owais, in light of feedback from citizens, the altered work hours for public sector employees, and the requirements of the public interest.
