With Ramadan underway, many young Muslims across the UK will still be attending school and college during the fasting period.
While during some years Ramadan falls during the exam period, school-age Muslims are lucky this year to avoid this. Regardless, they may still be experiencing fatigue during the school period which could cause some issues throughout the month.
Another thing that pupils and teachers should consider is making sure that the daily prayers all Muslims are obliged to do does not disrupt their class. While some young Muslims may opt to skip a prayer and make up for it at a later time (known as combining prayers) it is more important to do all prayers during Ramadan as the month is supposed to be a time to focus on Islam.
