The Ramadan school timetable
2 min read
In Ramadan periods are shorter and the day often starts later, but there's no need to rebuild the timetable: switch the bell schedule and keep every lesson where it is.
Prepare a Ramadan bell schedule
Shorter periods, a shorter (or no) break, and new start and end times per your ministry's instructions.
Keep the layout
Same lessons on the same days and periods, so teachers and pupils aren't confused.
Publish the new times
Send teachers and parents the new times and update the published timetable.
Tips
- In Gadwaly: add a Ramadan bell schedule and make it active — every printed and published timetable shows the new times at once; switch back after Eid.
Questions
Do I need to regenerate the timetable for Ramadan?
No, just switch the bell schedule.
