Back to religious school again
By Helwa

Some of the young students during their first day of religious school

The start of the new academic school year 2004 also marked the first day for religious schools here in the Sultanate.

Hundreds of young ones, mostly from kindergarten, primary one and two levels, began their first day of religious school last weekend.

These students will attend afternoon lessons daily (excluding Fridays and Sundays) for the next few years before sitting for a public religious examination once they are in primary six level (in the religious school).

Most religious school session starts from 1.45pm to 3.30pm for most kindergarten classes while upper primary may continue till 5.30pm.
