By creating Summer and Winter zones, the authorities have ensured that children can study in a safe and manageable routine. The complete schedule includes assemblies, Qur’an enumeration, class ages, and breaks, with adaptations for Fridays.
The new schedule, effective 1st April in the Summer Zone and 1st October in the Winter Zone, is now binding on all seminaries. This decision is anticipated to ameliorate discipline, produce uniformity across seminaries, and provide an effective literacy terrain for scholars throughout the fiefdom.
