Ministry of Education has stated it will be conducting religious awareness activities across the Maldives.
The ministry stated the activities will be conducted at schools in the form of exercises aimed at renewing the Islamic spirit in students. The ministry has held a series of meetings with schools principals, and the National Institute of Education (NIE) to conduct the activities. The discussions at the meetings involved conducting activities at schools to renew the love for Islam and informing students on ways to incorporate the teachings of Islam in everyday life.
As part of the activities, students from grades 1-5 will be taught the proper behaviour and actions to take during Ramadan and Eid al-Adha. Students will also be given projects to complete, which are related to practices to abide by during Ramadan.
The activities are set to begin during Ramadan in all schools in the Maldives and will be coordinated by the Coordinator at NIE Hassan Labeeb.
