So you can be very lucky or you can be very, very unfortunate depending on the school that you end up in and the teachers that you work with and the principals that you're dealing with.

"..they are let out of class early to avoid the afternoon prayers"

And even with that within a school,

Liveline
"..they are let out of class early to avoid the afternoon prayers"

the situation changes from teacher to teacher in some cases.

Liveline
"..they are let out of class early to avoid the afternoon prayers"

So each year it's a different conversation in a different way with a different person.

Liveline
"..they are let out of class early to avoid the afternoon prayers"

The lack of guidelines is hard.

Liveline

Liveline
"..they are let out of class early to avoid the afternoon prayers"

And that's because all schools are operating in a vacuum here.

Liveline
"..they are let out of class early to avoid the afternoon prayers"

So there's no guidance from the Department of Education.

"..they are let out of class early to avoid the afternoon prayers"

"..they are let out of class early to avoid the afternoon prayers"

Liveline
"..they are let out of class early to avoid the afternoon prayers"
