During the Ramadan 2025 school holiday, learning activities will still take place independently at home, in places of worship, and within the community. As stated in the SEB policy, students will receive assignments from schools, madrasahs, or religious educational institutions to maintain their learning rhythm even though they are not attending in-person classes.
The extended school holiday during Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr provides several benefits for students, including:
Focusing on Worship: Students have more time to strengthen their faith through fasting, Tarawih prayers, and reciting the Quran.
Strengthening Family Bonds: The long holiday allows children to spend more quality time with their families.
Rest and Relaxation: With a busy school schedule, this holiday serves as an opportunity to recharge before resuming academic activities.
Engaging in Social Activities: Students can participate in various social activities, such as charity events, distributing iftar meals, and religious gatherings.
With a total of 24 days off during Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr 2025, students have the opportunity to deepen their religious values, strengthen family connections, and continue learning independently. Make the most of this holiday to stay productive and gain meaningful experiences.
