“Save us, Crown Prince.” Saudis are pleading for help to stop the decision to return to schools in Ramadan

Thousands of Saudis begged Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to intervene in order to stop the Kingdom's Minister of Education's decision to return to studies in the holy month of Ramadan after a 14-year hiatus.

The Saudis interacted with the hashtag #Save_Your_Prince on Twitter to object to the decision, expressing their hope that Bin Salman would intervene and discourage the minister from his decision.

Many of them justified their objection to the decision due to the difficulty of working during the blessed month of Ramadan as a result of the high temperatures and the resorting of many students to taking vacations during the holy month, which subsequently affects their educational attainment.

The Saudi Ministry of Education announced that more than 6 million students have returned to school at various educational levels after stopping teaching in this holy month for about 14 years.

The ministry said in a statement yesterday, Sunday: "During the first school day of the month of Ramadan, Sunday, more than 6 million male and female students attended in all academic levels in public, private and foreign public education schools and universities, and special education institutes and programs."

The ministry urged its departments to highlight "the real value of seeking knowledge during the month of Ramadan and the balance it represents in which the student shares the reward of worship and fasting."

The suspension of studies in the month of Ramadan was due to the most prominent reasons, the most prominent of which is to preserve the fasting students for this month and to take into account the existence of hardship in fasting, and its return witnessed a difference of opinions in family and educational circles.
