Bauchi State recently announced that it had scheduled a term break in alignment with the commencement of Ramadan. This has prompted discussions about the role of religious observances in academic planning.

The state’s Ministry of Education recently released the 2024/2025 academic calendar, outlining key dates for the second and third terms.

According to the schedule, the second term began on January 6, 2025. It was set to run for 11 weeks, with a mid-term break from 1 March to 5 March, extending until April 6, when academic activities are expected to resume.

In the document signed by the state Commissioner for Education, Fatima Musa, the “Approved School Calendar” clearly states that the holiday will begin on March 1 and end on April 5. This amounts to a five-week break.

The timing of the break coincides with the start of Ramadan, the Islamic holy month of fasting, leading to speculation about an extended school closure for religious reasons.

What's is controversy here?
Schools are shut for Easter and Christmas so what's is big deal?

This is the life style they want to bring to the Southwest.

I'm sure even Saudi won't shortdown schools.

Sometime around year 2000 my my uncle that served there told us you have to beg their children to come to school , or even when they come once it's time for farm they would leave the class to farm.

So you can see the foundation of such altitude.

The least i expected is to probably reduce the school hours within this period. Take out the break period, resume 8:00am colse by 12:00 at least the children can archive some knowledge instead of staying at home the whole day.

Their business

While other states are working to fund the budget.
What is their contribution to the national budget?

Somebody should remind me the meaning of Boko Haram again?

Fasting is different from the main event.

Use ya head oo

My country

It is restructuring but this time it is ramadanic-academic one,different countries within a confused entity-a merely political rendezvous.

Naija Muslims are more Muslims than the Saudis 🤷

So schools are shut during the 40 day Christian fasting period. Whoa, I just learnt something new from you today.

Saudi Arabia, Iran and other Arab nations hope they shut down schools too for Ramadan cos that's what our Muslims brothers are copying from here

Christian leaders are so docile and irresponsible

Are there no Christian students in these states that their rights are being trampled on? Or do they want to tell us that there are no christians in these states?

But since the Christian leaders are only concerned with money and building magnificient edifices, they will never be able to see anything wrong about anything as long as it doesnt concern their tithes and offerings from the members.

Is Ramadan a one day celebration like christmas an easter?
Even Easter isnt widely observed as Christmas.

These people and perpetual strife.

I blame whoever is funding them unconditionally. All they do is politics so appealing to brainwashed followers become a potent political manoeuvre. They have no monthly target of IGR. We just have to sell oil at a certain price and they can keep sponsoring religion.

I don't think you have read about all the absurdities some of the northern governors are engaging in.

Shuting down school for months because of fasting, mass marrying poor individuals with billions of Naira who can barely feed themselves.

On the school matter, can't school resume let's say 9am after sarr and close early rather than close down learning because of religion?.

The core Muslim nations of Iran and Saudi don't do this nonsense why the parasitic north?

How can these students compete nationally and internationally when they have been denied learning?

The wards of these useless govent that shut schools, where are they?

This would not have been our concerns if not for the mistake made in 1914 by Lugard. May he and his accomplices never find peace!

Since it is not about tithe and paying tax they are less concern,our religious leaders are too money conscious,they might have settled CAN leaders in those state who knows. For your data at affordable prices check my signature for my contact

It's very unfortunate. It's untill states are allowed to fund their government activities with their own resources, then we will know if they will have extra funds for things that have no value to development.

Yoruba moooslemmmm shebi una dey see what we are seeing

Do they shut schools for up to 1 month? Make una dey use una sense before una comment. During Easter and Christmas schools are shut for two days each. Tueh!

That's what you get from SUFI States

Can't the federal govt through ministry of education sue them?

Or do state govt have the right to cut the academic year of the students in their state?
