Stressed students

Students often feel overburdened and stressed during Ramazan which is broadly due to the academic pressure that often compromises their ability to observe the holy month of fasting in its true spirit. Educational institutions should at least try to design their respective academic calendars in a manner that may take into consideration this very basic element. The current approach often fails to consider the unique challenges that the students face during the month. Besides, the combination of fasting, late-night prayers, and rigorous academic demands can lead to physical exhaustion, decreased concentration, and a decline in academic performance. Therefore, both the authorities and policymakers should take proactive measures to alleviate the burden on the students during Ramazan.
