WAM reported public schools will start after Eid. But the minister said the decision will be applied to all schools, public and private.

I would imagine they will try and keep the camps going, more money for the organisers if they can get approval. I think that arrangement deserves Mother of the Year Award, I am jealous. My Mother is here but leaving next week.

I phoned Cambridge International yesterday and they said they were starting on 6th September, but maybe they don't know themselves. Will ask again on Sunday morning.

Ridiculous:

1) They knew when Ramadan would be this year, so could they not have planned this in advance?

2) How they can justify delaying children going to school because of something that I thought didn't have to be observed by children anyway?

3) See points 1) and 2) above.

older children may well observe, but this is more about their lazy parents not getting up etc
